I think it’s time for cleaning out my inbox at work. As of today I have over 3,000 e-mails in my inbox! I hope to be able to go through and delete most of it. When I’m done I will probably go through my personal e-mail inbox as well.

Filters are useful for more than keeping your emails organized. I’ve been using them to separate out emails I don’t care about. Sure I’ve unsubscribed from those email lists but old emails are still hanging around. Elimited hundreds that way.
