As of yesterday I've been at Inbox Zero for 47 days. Before that my longest streak was 8 days. For me Inbox Zero is all about not having loose ends at the end of the day.

How I did it: 1) liberal unsubscribe. 2) ruthless delete. 3) scheduled time on my calendar to reply.

I remember on day 26 one message I didn't want to deal with stuck in my inbox. At the thought of breaking the streak I re-read the message and scheduled 30 minutes the following morning to reply.
