If you want a clean inbox, you need to remember that emails compound.
Which is why I whipped up this bogus formula for you to keep in mind in your quest to get a clean inbox:
EVERY EMAIL SENT GENERATES ONE HALF EMAIL RECEIVED AND, IF RESPONDED TO, GENERATES ANOTHER ONE HALF FOR “T” NUMBER OF THREADS.
I = E (1 + .5/E) (ET)
Where:
- I = inbox
- E = sent emails
- T = total threads
Email with care, friends, if you want a clean inbox.
