Summary: Every time I go to write an email, I get distracted by my inbox. I check all my new mail, and I put off the actual task I opened Gmail for. None of that new email was urgent, but I couldn’t ignore all those bold lines. So now I hide my inbox with Inbox When Ready. I’d tried other methods, like closing my Gmail tab most of the time. This helped me not idly check my inbox every time a message arrived. But as soon as I needed to complete any email task, I got waylaid by my inbox.
