The inbox does get away from me sometimes, but when that happens I'll just set aside some time to file everything and then I feel better.

Causing you to spend all that time that you were spending in your inbox in lots of little side folders.

Congratulations... is it still empty? I manage (most days) for my work email (and it does feel great), but run out of steam for my private one in the evenings - too much backlog there!

Thanks Chris, great information. I like the idea of moving everything to another folder - to be dealt with as time permits - and starting fresh with inbox zero. I'm going to try that.

Inbox zero is pretty great, you just have to make sure that you're not overfiltering, causing you to spend all that time that you were spending in your inbox in lots of little side folders.

Quite the feat!

As time go on there are even more opportunities to maintain inbox zero. Better question are we overextending our social communities that they are no longer personal?

Example: There are a few tech personalities who created their brand and base from maintaining a personal connection with their audiences. The larger they got the more distant they became with their core base. Sad...

Congratulations on reaching "inbox 0"! I've always been a bit obsessive-compulsive about keeping the messages in my inbox streamlined as much as possible, mostly because I'm a bit of a chronic worrier so if messages are burning a hole in my inbox it makes me very uncomfortable.

The inbox does get away from me sometimes, but when that happens I'll just set aside some time to file everything and then I feel better.

My secret has always been when I check email (and I'm trying REALLY hard to adopt the Timothy Ferriss method of once or twice a day at the most!) I deal with each email immediately. I respond, or forward to the appropriate person for processing, or I make a phone call, or whatever. If I need more information before I can respond, I leave it in the inbox until I am able to respond. And all those chain letters, slideshows and cute puppy pictures are immediately deleted, without a second glance.

This system works pretty well for me, and I don't tend to miss important stuff.

I think there is no one right or wrong way to achieve "inbox 0"...everyone organizes their work differently. This is just what works for me.

I've been sharing Merlin's stuff as well - helpful tip, set up the contexts as tags in GMail, so when you access GMail via iPod Touch or other IMAP client, you can process on the road and then do full reprocessing when you're at a workstation.

To anyone that's interested in more, the system I got and shared with Chris, I got from the book Bit Literacy by Mark Hurst.

Buy it. Your inbox will thank you.
