# Inbox Zero on weekends

**Inbox Zero on weekends** is a **Missive rules template** designed for people that want to keep any weekend emails clear of their inbox until Monday. With this rule, you’ll be able to have disruption-free weekends while ensuring an up-to-date inbox on Monday morning.

#### When enabled:

* The rule will snooze any incoming emails received during the weekend until the following Monday where they will show up in your inbox.

#### Here’s how it works:

* You need to determine what timeframe counts as the weekend
* You need to determine when you'd like to snooze until

***

### Incoming email rule: Inbox Zero on weekends

This rule is meant to automatically clear your inbox of any incoming emails during the weekend, and resurface them on Monday when you're back at work.

#### There is one condition and one action to make this rule work.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
If an email is received during the "weekend" **reception time**...
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
It will automatically **snooze** that email until **8am of the next weekday**. By snoozing, the rule will also remove that email from your inbox and unassign you.

Once Monday at 8am hits, the rule will move that snoozed email back to your inbox.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
