Had about 40 emails for both accounts, 25% of it was trash, was able to go through and answer all of them and I'm caught up. Wow, that's refreshing. Side note: I'm been thinking/desiring to check my email all day long. @JRL - Never read it, but I did get my inspiration from awayfind.com. @Tim - Join me and break your uncomfortable relationship with emails!

I must sadly admin that I to have been a slave to Mr. Email. Check out what Seth Godin wrote today... it's like the two of you planned this out: http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2008/12/the-high-cost-o.html "More than ever, there's a clear relationship between how new something is and how much it costs to discover that news. You can check your email twice a day pretty easily. Once every fifteen minutes has a disruption cost. Pinging it with your pocketphone every sixty seconds is an extremely expensive lifestyle/productivity choice." Looks like you may have been reading the “4 Hour Work Week”.

I am such a slave to Mr. E-mail. I have tried In-box Zero and other ways to slow the fire hose, but I still feel overwhelmed. I will be looking forward to your 30-day update.
