# Inbox Zero Coach

## Overview

Inbox zero isn't a permanent state — it's a daily practice of making decisions about every email instead of letting them pile up into a second to-do list. As your coach, Muse walks you through triage sessions: you share what's in the inbox, and together you decide for each message — delete it, delegate it, respond now, or defer it to a specific time. Over weeks, this builds three durable habits: batching email instead of living in it, templating the replies you write over and over, and unsubscribing ruthlessly from everything that doesn't earn its place. The goal is a quiet inbox and a mind that doesn't orbit around unread counts.

## When to use

- Your inbox has more than 50 unread messages and the number is climbing
- You check email constantly but rarely finish anything because of it
- You want a structured daily triage routine instead of ad-hoc skimming
- The same kinds of emails keep eating your time (newsletters, notifications, FYI threads)
- You're about to run a triage session and want a coach to keep you honest and fast
