The goal of Inbox Zero
Our mission at Inbox Zero is to empower all people to effortlessly organize, manage, and optimize their email. Email inboxes have become overloaded digital spaces filled with missed messages, overlooked tasks, and missed opportunities. We believe that an organized, efficient inbox clears the path towards productivity and success.
We value creating comprehensive, practical email management guides that help our readers gain control of their inboxes. Our ethos centers around respecting users’ time and attention by cutting through the clutter to deliver actionable advice. We commit ourselves to understanding email inside and out, from its technical components to its effects on personal productivity. This expertise lets us create the definitive resources for mastering email and achieving inbox zero.
Ultimately, our goal is to equip our readers to use email as an asset that connects them to opportunities instead of a burden stealing their time. An organized inbox relieves stress, opens up mental bandwidth, and enables people to pursue their priorities. We want to spread the transformative effects of inbox zero to benefit professionals, families, and individuals across all industries and lifestyles.
History and Journey
Inbox Zero began as a small blog focused on optimizing Gmail. Our founder, Carrie Kaufmann, had struggled for years with an overflowing inbox that buried important messages and made her feel overwhelmed. After finally taking the time to organize her inbox, Carrie was amazed at how much control and productivity she regained. She realized these same email management principles could help others conquer their own messy inboxes.
Carrie began publishing tutorials about categories, filters, labels, and other Gmail tools she used to reach inbox zero. And after a while, Carrie decided to expand the scope to include all major email platforms. As Inbox Zero grew, Carrie brought on additional email power users as contributors. Our team members have racked up decades of combined experience actually living with an inbox-zero system day after day.
Today, we continually update our deep pool of resources to cover new platforms and features. Our inbox zero consultants also work directly with individuals and teams to customize email workflows. We plan to build on our strong foundation going forward by expanding into new channels like video and podcast content. Most importantly, we remain committed to our founding goal of sharing the life-changing magic of inbox zero.
What does Inbox Zero do?
At its core, Inbox Zero teaches that an empty inbox is possible through the implementation of two key principles: 1) Frequently process and file emails so your inbox only contains messages that still require action, and 2) Schedule time to zero out your inbox by archiving processed emails and responding to unread messages. We equip readers to take control of their email rather than become controlled by their email.
To promote these principles, Inbox Zero offers professional tutorials covering both broad and intricate email management concepts. For the newly overwhelmed, we explain fundamentals of filing systems, search functions, automatic cleanups, and daily email processing. For power users, we provide advanced tutorials on custom rules, filtering parameters, keyboard shortcuts, and integration with additional productivity platforms.
Additionally, Inbox Zero provides encouragement through inspiration quotes, productivity tips, and stories documenting the inbox management journeys of real people. Working from empty feels fantastic, so we spotlight the organizational clarity, lowered stress, and newfound freedom readers experience after implementing our advice. Journeys may differ, but the destination is the same: an inbox that’s completely clear!
