I’d really like to read this post, but it’s showing just a title to me right now. Is it archived somewhere else that I can read it? Thanks!

OHMYGOSH! OHMYGOSH! OHMYGOSH! Leigh Anne, I can’t believe this! I just spent 30 minutes…that’s ALL…30 MINUTES(!!!) and my inbox is down to zero! I started with 106 messages and now I have my categories that work for me…it only took five new folders…one being “wedding reference” which I imagine will only be needed until the day actually comes in June. I just can’t believe it was so simple. I have one category that needs attention right away, but it’s only nine messages in there and that seems very manageable in the next day or two. AMAZING! Thank you. I check in with your blog now and then, but have kept your email noting how you got your inbox to zero thinking, “I need to read that” and there the message sat for the last couple weeks. I really thought it an impossible task (at least not in only 30 minutes!) but am so excited to have that done. My email has never been under control and I’ve often tried to think of it like my acutal snail mail that I almost obsess about getting off the counter and attending to immediately…ask Jeremy, it’s my big pet peeve if a piece of mail sits on the counter for more than a day. I’ve never been that good about my email though because it’s easier to let sit there. Anyway, I’ll stop rambling. Thanks for the inspiration! I’m thrilled!

I try to keep my inbox under control, but lately it seems to be a little heavy. I started last week with just over 900, as of this morning I’m down to 174, I still need to purge some more old stuff and make sure I keep the email addresses added… By Saturday we should be caught up.

Thanks for opening the curtains in this room of mine! You have saved me from having to declare “email bankruptcy” http://www.43folders.com/2006/07/28/email-bankruptcy

Thanks Leigh Anne! I know you wrote this one for me! I have 2319 in my inbox right now. And yes, things get forgotten and missed regularly! I keep thinking I will get back to them, but then they are all mixed in with the other 2300! I have the folders now, but I need to go back and do the sort. Thanks for the inspiration!
