Rarely give out my email (I use aliases everywhere)
Don’t attempt to sort incoming email (it’s a fool’s errand)
Email search is my friend
The result is a cluttered inbox, sure, and that’s not “minimal”. But it does minimize the impact on my psychology. I don’t need another chore, and email sorting is an infinite chore.
Doing triaging to different folders isn’t foolish since it becomes easier to clear out entire folders. Going thru & deleting things isn’t odd either since storage isn’t free.
