  • Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban checks between 700 and 1,000 emails every single day, clearing out his inbox between workouts, Zoom meetings, and meals. The ex-Shark Tank has never outsourced the job to an assistant (despite having more than enough cash to do so), and prefers spending his day trying to get close to inbox zero over sitting in “long, boring meetings.” 

Email was once seen as the next frontier of communication that’s fast, accessible, and free to use. But now that inboxes are being flooded with hundreds of emails daily, many people find answering them to be an overwhelming chore. Not Mark Cuban.
