Found a new way to clear my inbox during a layover in Dallas

I got stuck at DFW for 5 hours last month with no Wi-Fi on my laptop, so I finally tackled my email backlog on my phone. I set a timer for 20 minutes and only dealt with messages older than 30 days, using the search bar to batch delete newsletters. It cleared out about 1,400 emails, and now I do a quick 10-minute sweep each Sunday. Has anyone else tried time-boxing with a phone timer instead of a fancy app?

Wait, 1,400 emails? I mean, I get excited when I clear like 50 from my junk folder, so that number is genuinely blowing my mind right now.

Honestly, 1,400 emails sounds like a full-time job just deleting stuff.
