The Empty Inbox: A Story About Doing Less and Living More

By A unknown fool

Daniel Cho was forty-one, successful by every visible measure - and drowning in two hundred and fourteen unread emails.

Then he meets Walter, an old man sitting on a brick wall at midnight, who makes him an unusual offer: one week, ten things total. Everything else can wait.

What follows is a short, sharp story about the difference between being busy and being useful - and the quiet, unglamorous work of figuring out which ten things in your life actually deserve your full attention.

THE EMPTY INBOX is a business fable for anyone who has ever answered fifty emails in a day and shipped nothing that mattered. Readers of Who Moved My Cheese? and The Present will recognize the shape of this one - but the lesson is entirely its own.

A one-sitting read. A lesson you'll carry into Monday morning.

If you find yourself buried under your own inbox, this book is ten items long. Start there.
