Inbox Admin

Your inbox has a system. You just haven't written it down.

Set up your rules once — like telling a new hire where things go. Then it just runs.

You drag. You file. You repeat.

Same emails. Zero effort. Already done.

How It Works

Three things you do every day that you'll never do again

Each step mirrors how you'd train a new office admin. Day one: show them where things go. Day two: teach them the next step. Day three: tell them when to flag you.

1

Sort it.

Right now, you open Gmail every morning and drag invoices into folders. You've been doing it for years. You know exactly where everything goes — it's just tedious.

You already know the rule. You've been doing it in your head for years. Now write it down once and never do it again.

Act on it.

Once the invoices are in the folder, you open each one, find the PDF, switch to QuickBooks, and type in the vendor name, amount, and date. Twenty minutes per batch, every single day.

The folder was always step one. Now there's a step two that doesn't need you.

Decide on it.

A big invoice comes in from a new vendor. You're not sure about it — is this legit? So you forward it to your accountant with a note: “Can you look at this?” That's good judgment. Inbox Admin learns it too.

It handles the routine. It flags the exceptions. Just like a good admin would.

Boring. Reliable. Done.

Set it up in 10 minutes. It runs every day. Less than a part-time hire, more reliable than an intern.
