A couple of months ago I received an email with a link to 43Folders and the optimism of gaining control of my email inbox. After watching Merlins: Inbox Zero Presentation I began to realize the concept of this idea. I feel I have taken back a lost piece of my life. You can also download the PDF slides of the presentation here.

The most powerful notion is of deciding what to do with each email immediately and never having to read it more than once. I also enjoy the pre-canned messages for fast, easy response. If you only commit to one concept, you will be better off than before.

Remember, an email is not a little hug.
