Email Management

[brian.seel at gmail.com (Brian Seel)]

Thanks alot for the tips. I have been doing inbox zero for about a year now,
but somehow there always seems to still be a bunch of crap in my inbox all

Other than that, read GTD, manage my time and get a place a long way from
work. ;) Thanks guys!
