Overwhelmed by your inbox?
@TheBaseApp has an amazing solution – a one time Inbox Reset. For $750.00 a highly-trained executive assistant will audit, cleanse, organize and automate your inbox. My wife just went through the process and went from thousands of unread emails to inbox zero. Best of all, Base created labels, filters and automation to make sure her inbox (and her life) remains sane.
Check it out – might even make a nice Holiday gift for someone you love (including yourself). I've dropped a link in the comments.
