Great tips. I like the idea of checking email only four times a day. For some reason, our inbox creates a false sense of urgency. Better to close it until we need it.

Great post Daniel. I’m a big fan of all things G myself as well as BB. I’ve been a bit reluctant to check out the new G sites apps. but now you’ve given me good reason.

Along the lines of taming and controlling your inflow of email that helps me greatly is starring and filters. I check my email a couple of times a day. Anything that can be quickly dealt with on a return, BAM it’s returned. Everything else gets a star and is archived. Any incoming mail that I don’t want to see regularly in my inbox, but is not spam get’s a filter tag on it. REvendors, newsletters, twitterbacn, etc. After a while of dialing this in you can get your inbox to zero quick every time. Going back to the stared items later to deal with and taking a look at your filtered emails once a week.

Awesome post Zebra. I think I might actually give this a go.

Rocking the blackberry is like being the guy who had intellivision when everyone else had atari

& I had intellivision

RIM FTW!

Of course I’ll prob break down when iphone2.0 comes out.

Seriously though I need to try something. My inbox is pushing 25K. [don't ask]

Another thing, if you’re not following Chris Brogan on twitter (@chrisbrogan), make that the next thing you do. He’s one of the most valuable members of the whole community & his Social Media 100 series on his blog is absolute dynamite.

This is a really useful post, Zebra. I use yahoo and can achieve most of what you did, there. It’s not as robust as Google but I’ve been using it for 10 years.

I like the idea of routinely checking e-mail and not constantly checking it. Miraculously, problems get solved and questions get answered, regardless of my influence.
