If my memory serves me right, a couple of years ago, when you set up a new Apple device and enter your Apple ID, everything syncs, including email accounts. One thing I noticed is that when I set up my iPad, after entering my Apple ID, I still have to manually configure all my mail accounts. Whether I’m at home, a cafe, or traveling, I need to be able to access all my stuff. I work pretty much anywhere as long as there’s an internet connection. Reason 1: SynchronizationĪs I mentioned, I have at least 10 email accounts. While I love Apple, it’s native apps don’t have the necessary functionalities that power users need.

That means working on it if it’s a task for you, delegate it to other people and create a follow-up action, delete/archive it, or defer it in the future.

The touch-it-once method means when you open an email (touch), you have to take action on it. Inbox zero means you either delete/archive your emails so that your inbox has nothing in it. I also apply Getting Things Done (GTD) principles. I practice two principles that any productivity guru tells you: inbox zero and touch-it-once. I mentioned earlier that I stay on top of my emails. Let me tell you why… 3 Reasons Why I Switched from Mail to Spark Mail
