Quick Question

[bertine]

How many emails do you have in your email inbox RIGHT NOW?

I have 21 in my work inbox and 17 in my personal inbox.


I just don't get people that sit with thousands of emails in their inbox. How do you remember what you need to do?

Zero. I can't stand having anything in there. Either an item needs action, in which case I just do it when the e-mail comes in, or it needs filing, so I just file it.

I find it annoying that we have this wonder of instantaneous connection, and some people still don't bother to answer e-mails for weeks and weeks. And sometimes these are things that require a timely response.

Sounds like a GTD-er :)

Nah, I don't really go for those one-size-attempts-to-fit-all-and-fails-miserably-but-sells-a-lot-of-products things. I have my own personal system that I was using long before David Allen was hawking his wares. :-)
