We’ve all experienced Inbox Overwhelm! It’s one of those things that can creep up on you, and before you know it there are 100+ or even 1000+ emails banked up in your Inbox waiting to be deleted, filed, responded to, read, or forwarded. There are so many decisions that need to be made every time you access your inbox – and if it’s cluttered, this becomes even harder. In today’s episode of The Business Efficiency Podcast, I want to provide you with some tips and strategies to help you manage your Inbox more effectively. This may mean some culling, some organisation and putting in some processes to help you make those decisions with more ease. These strategies will help you stay on top so that emails don’t bank up so much in the future, and your Inbox is a place that allows you to feel in control and communicate with ease. In this episode, I cover:
- Should you subscribe to Inbox Zero?
- What type of emails are coming into your Inbox?
- With this awareness, you can put in place various strategies to manage these types, such as
- Rules to move notifications out of your Inbox
- Rules to move your newsletter emails out of your Inbox
- Ways to reduce double handling of emails
- A morning ‘triage’ checklist

Hi I'm Aerlie
Thankyou for tuning in to the Unload Podcast.
I have over 10 years experience in supporting clients to improve their efficiency, reduce overwhelm and organise their business operations effectively. I specialise in setting up project management platforms such as ClickUp and Asana for tracking and reporting your business operations, documenting processes and improving you and your team's productivity and collaboration.
I know that business owner's find it difficult to step out of the chaos and day to day running of their business, despite all of the other plans they have. Getting these foundations set up and running efficiently are the best way for you to grow your business to the next level. Reducing the mental load so that there is more space for action taking, problem solving and ideas is what I'm passionate about.
