Inboxing

I'm not the first to come up with it (see urban dictionary) but I'd like to propose the word Inboxing.

An inbox is a container in which all the papers to be dealt with are put. Or, figuratively, it is the aggregate of items that demand one's attention or effort.

Boxing, of course, is a combat sport where two participants, generally of similar weight, fight each other with their fists.

Inboxing is the fight you have to go through every day to clean all the items that find their way to your inbox: emails, chats, feeds, papers, etc.
It's worth fighting to claim back your time to think and be creative!


Good luck! Unlike boxing, in inboxing the two participants don't have similar weight :-)
