I really liked the section on categorizing. I've found that to be the best answer for dealing with email, so I end up with a lot fewer in my inbox. What I do is set aside 20 mins twice a day and work through all the emails in my inbox, then when I've dealt with them, they go into the category folder (with my reply if necessary) so I can reference it later if I need to. My inbox only holds emails I haven't dealt with yet and I do my best to keep that to less than 10 at any one time. Great advice! I really liked the section on categorizing.

The book Getting Things Done (GTD) also has been helpful to me. My practice for "touch once" is if I can respond to an email in 2 minutes or less, just do it now. If I can't deal with it immediately I move it out of my InBox to a folder called ActionRequired which I review a few times a day. My goal is to have an empty InBox whenever I have a few minutes to look at it.
