Email. It's such an integral portion of our lives.

It is. But what is it? Where does it come from? What does it taste like?

What is it taste like? So, Jason and I were talking about how email has become increasingly a portion of our business lives, well, I guess personal

lives as well, but that a large portion of our day is spent using email. We were talking about

our experiences with Google's new inbox and trying to change how email is done and sharing our

opinions about email. For me, I find that I have a horrible organizational scheme for email,

and I have tried all sorts of, like, inbox zero, whatever approaches. And it turns out I just end up

using my email as some sort of weird to-do. And like, I like seeing things, whether they're

unread, read, out in, labeled,

like all of these are various levels of to-do for me. See, I have like, I like that I can. I'm a zero inbox kind of person. I don't know, are you that way? Like I can't, if I have an unread email, it just like makes me tick a little bit. No? No. I have lots of unread emails. In fact, my lead came by one day and saw my inbox and was like

you have how many unread emails so are we talking like hundreds of thousands it's okay it's okay

yeah yeah yeah no not hundreds of thousands no no like hundreds oh hundreds okay i'm not that bad

anymore yeah like i have it a little bit better now basically if it gets past a month a month, I just, I just archive it all, like, away. But, but, yeah, I use it as, like, I read a message, and then I mark it back as unread if it's like, oh, I need to take action on this. And, yeah, I know it doesn't work. Now, inbox, the Google one, I use it for my personal and I really like it. And I don't quite get to inbox zero.

Like, I still leave stuff in my inbox. Although I have gotten to inbox zero with it because you can sweep away like large portions of messages, which I like. Yeah, yeah. I like the whatever they call it, I call it the boomerang feature because that was the name of a startup trying to do the same thing. where you like, give me this email new again in a day or in 12

hours or when I get to work. I love that feature. I actually should use that. I haven't used it,

but I think it would be really useful. I just haven't incorporated it in my flow. But I use a lot of

the like filters so that like I have a bunch of different categories and most of the email gets routed correctly. And that way things like... I have filters as well, but I find that if it's filtered out of my inbox, that just means it does not get right. Yeah, pretty much. Yeah, it's true. Who am I kidding? People fussed me. Like, you didn't see this email mess? I'm like, no.
