This email management method works like this: every time you check your email inbox, work your way through each and every email until your inbox is completely empty. Keep in mind that working through each email may include deleting, responding, or moving to a "needs future response" folder. However, by the end of the day, you must respond to each email in that folder as well.

Jake prefers Inbox Zero since it's based on the philosophy that emails should not take up space in your brain, and by always bringing the inbox to zero, you eliminate that mental clutter. To vote on which method Joe and Jake test out on themselves, scroll up and make your pick!
