Psychological impact of email and inboxes

Is there a psychological impact from having an empty inbox? Absolutely. Tangible or virtual, a full inbox is a nagging reminder that we're failing somehow. We can't keep up. We are overwhelmed with work. The drain on our psyche affects our concentration, which in turn affects our productivity.

The good news is that there are techniques for overcoming this never-ending challenge. The better news (for me anyway)? I'm winning!

Inbox: 2
Trash: 0 (I just happily deleted 334)
Sent: 1,484 (darn near impossible to get control over)

Admittedly, it has taken a very concentrated effort to get to this level of inbox management success, but I've been able to keep a handle on my inbox for over a week now. And seeing all that white space in my inbox each morning really starts my day off well.

Now, go 4D (do, dump, defer or delegate) 10 emails from your inbox and blog me in the morning.
