What is Inbox Zero?
Inbox Zero is a thing that was cooked up by Merlin Mann, of 43folders.com. It’s about how to reclaim your email, your attention, and your life. That “zero?” It’s not how many messages are in your inbox–it’s how much of your own brain is in that inbox. Especially when you don’t want it to be. That’s it.
