24. The only way an email will ever get out of your life (and
out of your worrying brain) is to either deal with it or get
rid of it.
If you're planning to do anything in-between, you should
have an explicit understanding of why you're doing so.

25. Stop thinking of emails like precious family heirlooms, and
start treating ‘em like pints of milk. Perishable, time-
stamped milk that becomes a little less fresh every day
until it smells kind of funny and just needs to be dumped.
Believe me, there will always be more coming.
