Is your inbox a todo list?

Do you use your inbox as a to do list?

If you do, how do you use it as a todo list?

Super curious to find out how people transfer tasks from incoming emails into some kind of to do list.

Thanks

    I’m guilty of this. I use outlook to capture all emails in 1 place (although the ‘new’ outlook launched this week doesn’t fully support all accounts / this approach). I file emails into folders but I ‘flag’ any that I need to ‘action’. This way I have a record of communication (can be essential on some projects and for some clients/employers) but I can also view ‘at a glance’ emails with actions that I haven’t completed. Hope this helps!

    Gmail has a built-in integration with Google tasks (look for the 'Add to Tasks' button on a message's action bar).
