7HE INB0X

In my professional experience, I’ve often dealt with corporate communication. Many users don’t know what an email is, don’t know how to write, don’t know how to reply, or – even worse – sometimes don’t even realize they need to reply. The inability to communicate within an organization, both internally and, above all, externally, is a hurdle that absolutely must be overcome.

Over time, I’ve gathered a lot of tips and rules that I’ve jotted down in documents and training presentations. I frequently find myself having to go back over them because, unfortunately, there’s always someone who has no clue what the skill of “managing email properly” actually means.

So, over the last few weeks, I’ve decided to organize everything I’ve gathered and, as I rewrite it, I’m posting it on a new blog.

It’s called The Inbox, it’s spelled 7HE INB0X, and it’s at https://inb0x.it.

It’s in Italian, and I haven’t planned an English version yet. I’m still thinking about it.

These are short, blunt, direct posts, with no frills or flourishes – a bit harsh, a bit philosophical, and not very practical. A minimalist blog: minimal in concept, aesthetics, and content. The goal is to manage to write at least a hundred of them and gather a whole series of topics, tips, and common practices for using email (in general), along with small insights on personal productivity, to eventually produce a small publication.

The nerdiest thing about this whole story is that it’s built with Astro, a static site framework that uses the same logic as Hugo but offers way more possibilities and customization. My blogs are built with the latter, so this was the perfect chance to try it out – I’d been stalking it for quite a while – and learn something new. And I’m glad I did.

That’s all, I hope you like it.
