While looking over 43folders.com’s RSS feed, i came across this article about cleaning up your inbox. While i never thought i had “email overload”, i did have 2300 emails in my inbox and would miss some. My problem is i use Outlook and Exchange, so i get emails in Outlook, on my MPx220 and using Outlook Web Access if I’m not at my computer. So emails tend to slip through the cracks. Decided to make my inbox my next GTD project this year. Moved everything out into a DMZ folder, then sorted by sender. This way i could clean up emails i know i didnt need. Ended up deleting 591 in about 15mins, plus my inbox is empty so no where to do but downhill from here.

Starting my new lifehack, GTD lifestyle today. First area I’m going to work on is web browsing. I spent an inordinate amount of time just surfing. So today i deleted all my bookmarks and installed Foxylicious and Bloglines. Going to use Del.icio.us for my bookmarks and bloglines to keep track of them using RSS. This way I don’t have to sit and keep a vigil over everything so i don’t miss anything. Had to uninstall Firefox 1.5b2 and go back to 1.0.7 just to get half the extensions and scripts to work again. No big deal, 1.5 didn’t add anything i cant live without.
