I get a lot of mail… and it builds up over time… My inbox at work always appears to have at least 100 items in it. However, I sometimes go to some user’s desks and find that they have very little or nothing in their inbox. They had a system that they stuck to and I have decided to do the same.
Recently Meriln Mann (an productivity blogger) did a talk at the Google Campus about managing your inbox with these 5 options:
- Delete or Archive
- Defer
- Delegate
- Do
- Respond
This is an amazing talk and your should take some time to check it out.
