Description

Drowning in emails? In this episode, Karen walks through the exact email management system she uses to keep multiple inboxes under control—while running businesses, leading a team, raising kids and supporting a 40k+ community.

You'll learn how to:

  • Combine accounts into one working inbox (and when to use a separate "bills-only" address).

  • Use color-coded flags tied to themed days (sales, team, EWRE, personal) so nothing gets lost.

  • Decide fast: delete, do, delegate, or defer—and what "Inbox Zero-ish" really looks like.

  • Unsubscribe ruthlessly, block repeat spammers, and stop obsessive checking.

  • Handle time off with a "To Do After Vacation" folder so you return to sanity, not chaos.

A simple, sustainable system to reclaim time—and your peace.
