4. Turn off multiple inboxes

When you’re able to One-Touch emails at a rate of one every few seconds, having multiple inboxes only multiplies the effort. It’s weird — once your email workflow gains economies of scale, you actually benefit from greater volume.

Settings > Inbox tab > set Inbox type: to Default > uncheck all Categories: except for Primary

5. Turn off all “smart” features

Every single one of these features is a maladaptive add-on to an outdated system; a short-term solution to a long-term problem.

Stars, personal level indicators, system labels, categories, circles, labels, importance markers, filters — get rid of them all, and breathe a sigh of relief.

Stars: Settings > General tab > in the Stars section set Presets: to 1 star (which you’re not going to use)

Personal level indicators: Settings > General tab > set Personal level indicators: to No indicators

System labels: Settings > Labels tab > hide all system labels except for Sent Mail, Drafts, All Mail, and (if you want) Spam

Categories: Settings > Labels tab > hide all categories in label list and message list

Labels: Settings > Labels tab > delete all labels at the bottom

Importance markers: Settings > Inbox tab > set Importance markers: to No markers

Filters: Settings > Filters and Blocked Addresses tab > delete all filters
