Medium has more than 100 million users. That means during any given week, millions of notifications are sent out to subscribers’ inboxes.

If you’re like me and subscribe to several different newsletters your inbox can fill up with reading material rather quickly.

While you might want to read all of the newsletters you’re subscribed to, there’s a chance you aren’t. According to Mailbird, 35% of emails are left unread.

With so many unread emails, your inbox fills up. It’s no wonder so many people lose track of important emails.

But the problem isn’t necessarily that you’re oversubscribed to newsletters. The problem is that you never actually learned how to use email in the first place.

This article is going to offer a solution to get newsletters you intend to read — especially your newsletters — out of your inbox and somewhere where you’ll actually read them.

Once you find a home for your newsletters and schedule time to read them, you’ll be able to spend more time engaging with content shared by your favorite writers.

Your email inbox should be a task manager, not a repository.
