I'm sure this topic has come up in this forum already, but I haven't been able to find it:
I'd love to hear how others successfully process email that builds up while away from work for a few days or longer. For instance, is the first day back all about getting email to zero? If other things keep you from processing emails on day 1, how do you handle the backlog? Do you dump it all in a "to be processed" folder so it doesn't get muddy with new messages?
I'm sure part of my problem is that I haven't yet mastered email-to-zero. But there's something about the added backlog after a few days off that makes it mentally harder for me.
