I’ve finally managed to trim my in-bin at work to 10 messages, give or take a few depending on what’s going on for the day. What a pleasure to see everything in my in-bin in one screen! How unlike me, in general… Coworkers swear that they keep their inbins empty, regularly either deleting their email or filing it. I had never been able to keep up with the flow, no more than I can keep up with the stream of industry magazines that crosses my desk at work, or the pile of mail that threatens to overwhelm me at home. This empty in-bin thing is giving me hope that I’m not doomed to endlessly be digging through information.
