Email Hatred

If you hate email as much as I do, and use Gmail for your mail service, maybe there's a little relief in sight. The new iOS mail app, Mailbox, is available in the App Store. Hurry over and download it to reserve your place in line. Because there is a server side component to the application, they're letting people in slowly. I'm currently about 30,000th in line, with another 500,000+ waiting after me.

This won't be the answer to all the problems I have with email, but any help is appreciated.

Email Management

Anyone who knows me knows I hate email. Not an email message, but the ​whole system required to stay on top of all the emails we receive. I've actually evolved to be pretty good at managing my email and pretty ruthless at dealing with the email I receive. Not everyone is so lucky.

​Matt Gemmell tackles the subject of email management in a truly fantastic post on his blog today. Please read it. Twice. I won't even ask you to do everything he says. I'm not there yet myself. Please bookmark the post and then pick one or two things and do them. If they make your email life better, add one or two more ideas. Your life will be better for trying.
