Web Junkie Wednesday: Inbox Victory!
It's another Web Junkie Wednesday and today we're celebrating those brave, industrious souls who have faced down their e-mail, stemmed the tide of spam and junk, fought the digital pack-rat urge and completely cleaned out their inboxes.
Inbox Victory is a site where people share the amazing feeling of getting down to zero messages.
From the site:
Have you ever been in the situation where you spend days trying answer all of your email only to accomplish your goal and have no one to share in your victory? All you want is a high five, a pat on the back, and a “job well done soldier!”, and yet most likely all you are left with is an empty room and a cold cup of coffee. Inbox Victory is an initiative that says, “you deserve that high five!” And here is how you get it:
1) Get your email inbox down to zero. People have various methods for dealing with their email so ‘inbox 0′ is going to mean different things to different people. A basic rule of thumb, however, is getting it to a point where no further action can be taken.
2) Open up your webcam software and take a screenshot of yourself profiling in front of your defeated foe (See examples below).
3) Leave your screenshot in the comments of this post.
Here are some of the newly liberated:
Inspired by these brave individuals, I'm going tackle my work Outlook inbox (162 items) and my personal Gmail inbox (913 items...no...now it's 914).
Wish me luck!
