Inbox Hygiene, Without the Noise
IncomingNote is a calm, text‑first space. We cover lightweight systems for inbox triage, small habits that protect attention, and practical steps for safer browsing.
Today’s Notes
- Two‑Pass Triage — First pass: delete or archive obvious clutter. Second pass: reply to anything under two minutes.
- Batch Notifications — Turn off non‑critical alerts. Check in predictable windows, not all day.
- One List Only — Keep a single capture list; email stars aren’t a task manager.
Inbox Hygiene Checklist
- Unsubscribe from automated promos you never read.
- Use filters/labels to auto‑sort newsletters into a reading folder.
- Archive aggressively; search is better than endless folders.
Safer Browsing
Good inbox habits pair well with basic device hygiene. Keep your browser and extensions updated, avoid scareware pop‑ups, and run periodic security checks to catch risky installs.
