Inbox Zero

I always find it quite amazing how much time I spend on email every day. I used to work for a partner that said “you know you made it when you lose complete control of your inbox.”

The popular startup, Superhuman seems to tackling this problem. Superhuman users are almost cultish with their “Sent via Superhuman” tags. It’s almost become a status symbol in the tech industry.

As someone who strives for inbox zero, I do love the idea behind it. I have never used it as I’m a chronic Windows user and it’s only available for iOS, but I’m anxiously anticipating when Superhuman is released for Windows.

In the meantime, I’ve made it a point to continually improve my email experience and learn new shortcuts on Gmail. It may not be Superhuman, but I cleared 100+ emails in 15 minutes today and that’s progress from where I used to be.

There’s going to be a lot of startups that claim that they are the “Superhuman for X” in the near future. I’m excited to see how these startups improve productivity and efficiency.
