Inbox Zero project

I’ve been following, with great interest, the Inbox Zero series over at 43 Folders. I’m starting to wonder if I’m just hopeless about email though. I think I’ll be re-reading these articles yet tonight. Gotta love something that starts like this:
Clearly, the problem of email overload is taking a toll on all our time, productivity, and sanity, mainly because most of us lack a cohesive system for processing our messages and converting them into appropriate actions as quickly as possible.
Amen, brother.
The genesis of this series was his Email DMZ post from January of this year. Then, in February we had the Email Ninja article. Both interesting at the time, and both a bit overwhelming — for me, at least.
The rest of the site is nifty too, he really writes some interesting stuff on a variety of topics. And that all reminds me that I really need to pick up that Getting Things Done book soon (Rich or Peter — is it this one?).

CURSE YOU! I have this blog post written already on my freaking palm that I wrote today on the plane. It didn’t mention any of the sites you mentioned. I’d come up with it myself as I listened to GTD on audiobook while I flew.
In my original post I created filters in gmail to help move things out of the front page… I bitched about people who e-mail me without subjects in their e-mails… I can’t believe you were on the same page, mentally as me on this one. It was completely out of left field for me.
And yes, that’s the book. I’ve got some really cool GTD resources in PDF if you want ‘em just let me know.
Well hey — write yours! Mine’s just a minor bit of nattering and some pretty nifty links. I’m sure game to learn more.
