Good article…..I’ve recently gone on a binge to unsubscribe from emails….I used to wake up every morning to a truck load of emails which I never read but would just swipe away to the trash bin….it’s very therapeutic.

I see a problem, how do you know that a given email has been stored in the this week box for six days and it is itme to deal with it?

Sound advice. This is actually very similar to David Allen’s “Getting Things Done” approach to time management.
