'This is a calm inbox'

in #blog7 years ago

I've been trying inbox pause for a few days now, and I absolutely love it! If you don't know what it is, you can check it out below.

I'm still not back at work yet, but I can't believe what a difference this has made! I've set my emails to come in three times per day - 8am, 1pm and 4pm. I hadn't realised how stressful it had been to have all of the little beeps, flashes, zings and shakes on my mobile whenever I received a new message.

So far I've only had a couple of useful/important emails and the rest has been newsletters, special offers and updates on products. You can override the system for certain emails, which is useful in case you're waiting for something important. I love it, and can't imagine I'm going to take it off. When I go back to work I'm going to try something similar, as I'm constantly distracted by new emails popping up.

I feel like inbox pause has been a bit of a gateway app in that I've loved it so much that I've deleted FB messenger from my phone and have turned off notifications for my other social media apps.

I don't know how much time I've saved, or how it will work once I'm back into the regular swing of things, but so far I'm pretty impressed.
