On a slow day, I get around 60 to 75 emails. On a bad day I get around 200. For months I wrestled with trying to keep my inbox organized and not lose track of things – but it was tough. Eventually, I came up with a system that works well for me and I’m hoping it helps you with your inbox management goals. So far my system has helped me for well over a year – it’s not perfect, but it works for me.

“Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living. The world owes you nothing. It was here first.”

Either way, I love the attempt at changing/enhancing the flying experience. Something to watch for. Could this work for other modes of travel? What about long drives? Lines in the grocery store?
Even if you don’t manage anyone, it’s good to know how to deal with these challenging personalities.

Ohhhh! It’s so precious.
Master Splinter just wants a cuddle.
