I've been using Merlin's Inbox Zero techniques for many months now--processing, not checking. I like it and it's been helpful.

I'd like to talk about it at work, much like Merlin's Tech Talk, but I'm concerned that this is Merlin's livelihood and I shouldn't do more than point people to 43f and say "look at the inbox zero stuff, it's good." I don't think that I could get my work's training folks to license this.

Is there an appropriate way to present this useful tool? What's the happy medium?

Does anyone now how to make Outlook 2007 function like Gmail's archive features, where archived messages will reappear if a new message comes in with the same "conversation"? Thanks!

Organize downloads in folders named by date (or, finally a practical use for launchd)

Hello All,

I am a big believer in a lot of concepts talked about on this site--I've gotten a lot of personal benefit from them (thanks Merlin, et. al.). The Kool-Aid has been delicious.

My problem: the "big company" approach to the problems of today's knowledge worker is to prescribe tools--rather than helping people figure out how to use those tools. I see a lot of co-workers drowning in information ... they want help, but the corporation is hard-pressed to give it to them.

Hey Merlin,

Can you please let us know how the grip tape worked on your macbookpro? Mine is a disaster and I've been looking for ways to protect it from external forces. I'm curious to find out where you put it and if it makes it too bulky or not.
