Inbox Zero

I just watched the Inbox Zero video, and I REALLY want to start implementing processing. My question regards on-going conversations or responses. Do you suggest deleting or archiving each response as they come in, or waiting until the final email comes in and hold on to that one?

Ok, not sure that makes sense, but I'm thinking about email "trees" where a conversation happens via email.

Thoughts?

I think I'm starting to get it

So, it's more about how often I engage in processing email then the ultimate fate of each one?

Hmm, I'm liking this. It's going to take some self control to stop living with Mail open, but I think I can get used to it.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
