Tom,
I’m glad you like the GTD system as well as the 4HWW. I’m implementing the principles of the 4HWW right now, although I’m not aiming at Tim’s extreme version. I just like his principles on self-discipline and am combining it with my GTD system. The idea of mini-retirements is great though – I keep that in mind :-).

- just cleaned my inbox using the three groups, then for a check went through the three labels and yes, it feels good and makes a lot of sense, very intuitive

- in the end, i think email mgt its very persnal, some people don´t mind if the inbox overflows into nirvana and will just delete anything after some time w/o checking

- the 4 hour workweek i can recommend as well, not only for time management, but also for thoughts on what you want to do with this time; just imagine, 54 hours work saved per week, that´s a scary bunch of time …

Hi Remo,

I finally packed you in my netvibes and remembered this post. I started using the system two weeks ago, and I love it … my colleagues are rather jealous about my empty inbox, but refuse to believe, that the solutions of “inbox zero” apply to their circumstances. I am living proof and happy to get my stuff done so much more efficient … so that I do have more time to read my blogs.
Cheers from Berlin
Andreas

For those that use Outlook I also recommend using an addon called ClearContext which allows you to really become much more productive and in addition to categorizing you can defer, schedule appointments, etc… It make the handling them in 2 minutes a heck of a lot easier.

I’ve written a couple of things about ClearContext on my blog if you want to take a look.

PS: Great idea regarding “Paid Digging” – but since you couldn’t disclose it, it would be against our ethics-codex :-)
