An open letter to my email inbox
Your days of making me feel overwhelmed are numbered. "1713 messages, 221 unread" doesn't intimidate me any more. I am armed and I know enough to be dangerous.
- Gigantic todo-list text file: Processed.
- Desktop: Cleared.
- Bookmarks toolbar: Reclaimed*.
- Stacks of snail mail: Dealt with.
Inbox: You're next.
*Thanks to bug 477751 for forcing me to go through dozens of bookmarks one at a time instead of trying to sort them first.

HOLD up bro—why you gotta be all Gettin’ Things Done on me? We tight, right? Just because I can’t read those emails myself don’ mean I’m ready for you to empty me out and leave me all alone. I know you got a bright future and all, you full of talents, but it’s gettin’ harder and harder to see where I come in. It’s like… it’s like I hardly even know you anymore, dogg. We used to be so tight.

Don’t listen to that nutbox, Jesse. You can make this happen.

Why not use the bookmarks manager to, well, manage your bookmarks?

You have a serious blogspam problem :-(
Getting Things Done rocks. Go for it!

That’s nothing compared to what Google Reader gives you if you don’t check all your feeds for a week. Then again, feed items are much less important than email normally and I only READ about 1 in 30 items.
