Inbox Zero Is a Lie

Inbox zero used to be the goal, the hallmark of a productive life. But in 2024, it feels like chasing a mirage.

As emails multiply and Slack pings creep into midnight hours, it’s clear: the problem isn’t how much we can respond to, but how much we let the tools dictate our time.

Maybe the new productivity hack isn’t clearing your inbox—it’s letting unread messages sit there, unapologetically.

Technology might not love it, but your sanity will.
