I think I managed to avoid the Inbox Zero thing by not reading my emails, if the little bit of text that Gmail displays is enough for be to be confident that I don’t need to read or respond to the mail. This means that I have a huge, constantly growing number of unread mails in my inbox, so the idea of getting it down to zero isn’t really attractive.
I still check my email unnecessarily often, but I don’t feel a compulsion to read any new mails immediately.
