In this episode of Sorting Through Life with Colleen Waterston, Colleen teams up with productivity coach Ellen Faye, author of Productivity for How You’re Wired, to tackle one of modern life’s biggest sources of stress: email overload.
Together, they explore why inboxes get out of control, how to sort emails using simple triage methods, and practical strategies to reduce email clutter without feeling overwhelmed. From managing multiple email accounts to unsubscribing without guilt, organizing “read later” links, and keeping track of replies, this episode offers realistic solutions for busy professionals, parents, and entrepreneurs.
Listeners will also learn how to move toward Inbox Zero (or at least Inbox One Page), use flags and categories effectively, and turn email from a productivity drain into a powerful organizational tool. If your inbox feels like a full-time job, this episode provides actionable email organization tips to help you regain control, save time, and stay focused on what matters most.
