Email Freedom: Why Inbox Zero Isn't the Answer
In this episode I discuss my perspective on email management and the concept of inbox zero. I believe that being a slave to the inbox is not worth the anxiety and stress it can cause. What is important is good communication and connecting with others face to face. High performance is about consistently exceeding norms while maintaining healthy relationships and well-being. Having an empty inbox does not define high performance.
