It's a joke method that doesn't actually do anything for the underlying issue... Why does having unread items in your inbox cause you stress? You could see the subject without clicking on the email and you could see the little blurb preview without clicking on the email. You could have full and complete reading of an email without reading the email. So my argument against inbox zero is that it teaches people that you need to take in every bit of information and not filter anything mentally and you need to be concerned by everything that you're taking in... Which to me is harmful mentally. Learn to filter things and learn to not give a shit.
