Inbox Management

If you're in a position that funnels at lot of email your way, you're likely sitting on an inbox with dozens, hundreds, maybe even thousands of emails. Until about 6 months ago, I was in the same boat.

I've always been a big fan of business books, how-to guides and the overall self-help section of the bookstore (read: Amazon). I was blog trolling a while back and ran across a very strong recommendation for David Allen's "Getting Things Done" and picked-up a copy. It has some real-world practices outlined that have been super helpful in getting my organizational skills up to par, so I looked for more and picked-up David's next release "Ready for Anything - 52 Productivity Principals for Work & Life."

This one wasn't as helpful, but was one of those reads that is worth it's weight because it drives home basic concepts-- in this case learned from "Getting Things Done."

One that is a real stand-out for me is a chart that David produced titled "Processing and Organizing Workflow." I wanted to get a copy and post it on BohsEye.com to share, and found it as a Free item on David Allen's website. Go get it here.
