Description

Inbox zero – it's taken the email world by storm and has been popularized by startups, like Superhuman. But, everyone seems to have their own process for managing emails and prioritizing tasks. Sometimes, this is due to the vertical or industry that a person works within. Other times, it's because entire companies have specific ways of approaching work.
For the Levels team, we value three factors deeply when it comes to communication:

Discussing initiatives asynchronously
Documenting projects thoroughly
Closing the loop voraciously
