Editor's Notes
- Folders are not going away, even in the face of search technology.
- Some argue that pilers are rude; they rely on others to remind them or to file for them. The test is there more than a screenfull.
- Simple, repeatable. Reduce the number of possible options. Turn them into verbs. You need to build walls.
- Just remember that every email you read, re-read, and re-re-re-re-re-read as it sits in that big dumb pile is actually incurring mental debt on your behalf. Look, respond, move on. It is called a Firewall. Enter your inbox for discrete tasks, process the 4 Ds then exit. I personally check my email every 60 minutes. If it is that urgent, they will call. Don’t forget that also allows you to monitor what you sent before it goes. Group the 60 potential distractions into groups. There is no point in filing an e-mail or closing an e-mail if you can complete it in less than 2 minutes. Try it out—see how much mail you can process in less than 2 minutes. I think you will be extremely surprised and happy with the results. You could file the message, you could respond to the message, or you could make a phone call. You can probably handle about one third of your e-mail messages in less than two minutes.
