My inbox makes me so angry. Its existence infuriates me. It is the most intimate part of my life that I have no control over. It is always a mess and always needs attention.
I cannot abruptly stop using email because there is no single alternative for all the functions it performs
I believe any invention which reduces the role of the inbox will make me happier. I would gladly pay for this sort of thing.
I like the idea of only checking your emails during a specific time of the day (from Tim Ferris of ‘4 Hour Working Week’ fame). At other times just set an out-of-office reply telling people to call you if it is important. If its not - it can wait till you are ready to deal with it.
Or you can get a VA - they seem to be all the rage these days.
