DISQUS

This is a terrific idea -- quickly cuts the pile down to size.

The folks I know who have perpetually-overstuffed inboxes tend to get bogged down in thinking of Big Answers to everything, instead of getting things triaged quick-and-dirty.

I recently printed out GMail's keyboard shortcuts to help me better wade through my email. It has helped tremendously.

Fully agree, do something with it, and move on.

Brian Tracy (famous get what you want type guy) talks about only ever handling a piece of paper once. Do something with it once only. The same should apply to email.

I always look an email and think, if I did nothing with this, would it matter. If the answer is no (it would not matter). I delete it.

And short, curt answers are often better.

Don't forget about not checking email 1000 times a day either, why not just check it once an hour or something like that.

Like I could do that though. lol

I never answer email on the go unless it's urgent, but I'm constantly culling what email comes in so there's less to deal with later.
