Business users receive 94.5 non-essential emails every day.2,3

A 2013 Gartner survey found that many users are frustrated by unwanted messages in their inbox.4

Use folders, flags, labels, or tags to organize spaces for “not right now” emails.

Instead of constantly checking your inbox, pick a time (or times) during the day to focus on email.

If an email doesn’t need saved or responded to, delete it.

Take the time to configure your filter so that bulk mail doesn’t end up in your inbox.

Once you’ve created a system, stick to it. With time, you’ll perfect your process.

Look for a tool that automatically sends bulk mail into its own space, which you can browse (or not) at your own pace—like Sendio’s Opt-Inbox. The Opt-Inbox puts you in control, so that you only get the emails you want (without wasting time creating dozens of filters). Sure, filters block some spam, but most email filters lack the level of control needed to truly manage email and achieve the ultimate goal: AN EMPTY INBOX.

If a response is required, reply quickly, then delete or file the message.

More users than ever are clearing their inboxes and freeing hours each day.5
