E-Mail Overload, What’s The Problem?
I admit, I’ve become one of those “pile, then file” e-mail guys, with hundreds of messages in my inbox that I’ll go through and label/file in one huge blitz every couple months. It’s that dang GMail! Google search is just so convenient that I don’t need to bother organizing anything!
Bad form, I know. Anyway, check out this video from the guru of e-organization.
King of the empty inbox Merlin Mann did an hour-long presentation on dealing with the daily onslaught of email for Google employees this week, and the video’s now available to the rest of us. Hit the play button to see Merlin’s full presentation (slides available here) which is based on his excellent Inbox Zero series at 43 Folders. His system inspired most of the empty inbox proclamations here on Lifehacker, so this is your chance to hear it from the horse’s mouth. Thanks to Merlin and everyone at Google for making this one available to the public.
