Pre-InboxDone: Justin Struggled with Email Overload
For Justin, managing a burgeoning email inbox was akin to fighting a losing battle.
As a task-oriented person, he aimed for ‘inbox zero,’ but the sheer volume of emails, especially after starting an email newsletter with 33,000+ subscribers, made this goal increasingly unattainable. “I was overwhelmed with the volume of email,” Justin recalls.
I wanted to personally respond to each one, but it was just too much. It was demoralizing to see my inbox constantly refilling.
How InboxDone Transformed Justin’s Email Management
InboxDone’s intervention began with a deep dive into Justin’s existing email habits. We didn’t just take over; we observed and learned to mimic Justin’s communication style, ensuring a seamless transition.
Justin appreciated the tailored approach.
It wasn’t about handling everything. They focused on managing 80% to 90% of the emails, which felt right. There’s always going to be a few things only I can handle.
The transition required effort, but it was worth it. “We built a library of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for different types of emails. This initial investment of time was crucial for the effective delegation of my email management,” Justin notes.
How Working With Specialist Inbox Managers Changed Justin’s Workflow
With the support of InboxDone’s team, Justin now finds himself more organized, with a restructured email folder hierarchy. This restructuring has allowed him to focus on the most important emails and delegate the rest.
I feel so much more organized. Previously, I used the search bar in Gmail, but now, everything is well sorted. When I check my ‘Justin’ folder, I know those are the emails that need my attention.
Justin’s involvement in email management has significantly reduced, freeing up time for him to focus on his core business activities and creativity.
While I’m still a bit in the weeds due to my nature, the difference is night and day. I have more time for content creation and other important projects.
