Finally beat my email inbox after trying 5 different systems

Spent 6 months trying every Gmail filter and folder trick but nothing stuck until I just started using the snooze button on everything that wasn't urgent. Now I process everything once at 10am and 3pm and my inbox stays under 10 messages. Anyone else find one simple feature that broke the cycle for them?

Honestly, what made you finally stick with the snooze over the filters?

Filters just felt like I was hiding everything, even the good parts. Snoozing lets me decide when to deal with someone without making it weird or permanent. Did you find it harder to trust that snooze would actually keep people quiet when you needed it?
