I make choices based on whether the input is from a customer. If it is, I attend to it faster than I would with, say, YouTube videos.Sometimes the stress of which inbox is it in really gets to me. Any tips?

1. Email is a special case because it brings to you next actions, projects and reference you want to store external to your email, but there is a lot of stuff which gets filed away in email folders.Sometimes the stress of which inbox is it in really gets to me. Any tips?

This is an inbox and just needs processing. My email volume has jumped to close to 400 message a day right now. I'm not managing to clear it out daily but I am working on it. Right now I'm at about 128 still to process today. My best tip, handle each email only once. I start at the oldest and stick with it for the time I have. I am processing email in small chunks in between other tasks as I find it a good mental break.Sometimes the stress of which inbox is it in really gets to me. Any tips?

This is another real inbox. Process these things into either Someday/Maybe, a current active project, a new action, a new project, project support or reference as appropriate. My best tip, I personally don't use my task manager inbox as an inbox, I never send things there but process into my task manager from my other sources, email, paper, notes, phone voicemail, text messages etc. Things only get into my task manager as curated items I am working on this season, i.e. my active projects and actions. I keep someday/maybe in another tool.2 My Ticktick inbox
To me this is reference. I clip a lot of things I may want eventually into my short form digital tool DEVONThink. If it's just a nice to have eventually then it's really just reference. Otherwise you should process it BEFORE you clip to Evernote. My best tip, if the "clipping" relates to a current active project or you know it's part of a someday/maybe project file it electronically in an appropriate bucket for that, either your task manager or digital project support. If you just want it because, then file it in some sort of reference, filing system.3 Things clipped to Evernote
To me these are separate someday/maybe lists. They do not belong in my task manager. Instead when I am ready to read tweets or watch videos I'll pull out that list and work on it.4 Tweets I've liked to read later

This is some sort of digital reference. My tip: File it in an A-Z digital filing cabinet according to subject.6 screen shots of things I want to remember
