Inbox zeroing from my phone

I previously shared seven principles to simplify email.

I continue to aim at inbox zero but I wanted to point out that I found it extremely hard during the summer when traveling with a half-broken iPhone X and no access to my computer.

It didn't take me long to regain control of my inbox. But I saw the problem framed from a different perspective.

All I can say is that having a laptop—or even better, a monitor, a keyboard, and a mouse—makes this work much easier.

That's the problem with relying on a laptop for certain tasks: you won't have it while on the go.¹ Smartphone-first workflows win, as they'll mostly be supported on desktops.
