Or do you have emails piled up and unread that you’re hoping you’ll get time to get to?I’m not judging – I used to have as messy an inbox as anyone. And even now, if I go on vacation or don’t check my email for too long, I can get in a heap of trouble: the email piles up, and it can be a real chore getting back to my empty inbox. via e1evation.com [...]

I like articles like these because it gives me tips for handling my own e-mail overload. I am the opposite of inbox zero freak -- I can't even imagine the number, to be honest with you. In my question to take control of my inbox I'm looking to "Master Your Workday Now" by Michael Linenberger. (He previously wrote a best-seller on Microsoft Outlook.) He's got effective e-mail approaches and says that e-mail management is really all about task management. According to him (I have a preview copy of the book -- lucky me) the in-box is a terrible way to manage tasks. He also talks about recognizing and overcoming the time-waster that e-mail can be. I personally don't have that problem, but certainly others do! Task management is something I strive for, along with e-mail management. I'm kind of in heaven right now, anticipating a more productive worklife.

Thanks for the tips.
