Isn’t that a great title? It’s not mine though, it’s the name of an Audio Course you can buy that teaches you how to manage all your incoming email. And while I’m sure it’s a useful program, I don’t have $47.00. I found the link from this blog post from Chris Brogan, “Inbox Taming for Busy People“. Which is also a great title.
The problem I have is that I have so much coming in every day that it gets buried. Brogan suggests setting up separate email addresses, one for general messages, one for personal messages, and one for signing up for newsletters and RSS feeds and such. My problem is, having more email addresses doesn’t help me remember to CHECK more email addresses!
But I need to do something, because I have emails coming from PR firms and advertisers that are getting lost in the slew of incoming messages from MyBlogLog and Twitter and EntreCard. I remember a time when I didn’t even understand WHY people needed email!
