The challenge with GTD (getting things done) and time management is that it is a process. This is a nice video to remind you of how to manage the process for email. A useful reminder of the obvious with a very healthy dose of ninja focus and getting clear with some simple approaches I am willing to try.

Why is the sound quality always so wanting, especially in those videos that feature someone talking to (the viewer as) an audience! Its almost insufferable trying to follow what actually is being told, especially on portable devices.

So many errors in the captions.

This is old news...zero tabs is now all the rage, common sheeple jump on the bandwagon, follow the buzz!!!

[James Yeang]

I've used this system for six years. Changed my life, and feel much less stressed

finally got to inbox zero, finally got around to watching this, turns out it's already my modus operandi

For some, speaking IS not just easier but a better way for the individual to get their points across. I find public speaking both easier and FAR more informative to my audience than if I tried to put my words on paper. Something IS lost in translation from the spoken word, and all the ad libbing, than the static written word. So, there is room for both in our world. I prefer to speak and share, others write and share - the point is: GET THE MESSAGE ACROSS. Right? RIGHT! Havvagudden!

[savagecabage]

advanced common sense!

[StuListon]

I got as far as "your time is finite"

[TheRaiderGirl13]

wow its an hour

I actually stayed through the entire video ... while trying to organize and whittle my Gmail inbox.  I finished the video, and deleted a lot of stuff.
