alice peacock show and inbox zero

Tagged ,

RH, LS, KC and I went to the Alice Peacock show at Eddie’s Attic this weekend. She’s one of my favorite singer/songwriters, and LS and I went to her show in Piedmont Park two summers ago and had a great time. This show was just as excellent, and even more irreverent and fun. She’s incredibly talented, and apparently she has many doppelgangers as she reminds LS and me of our friend JSW, and KC swears she looks like her cousin.

On another note, I continue to strive to get a better handle on my e-mail inbox at work and at home. At home, it’s been totally out of control with over 16,000 messages in my inbox. I was speaking with a friend and coworker today, and she suggested I just archive everything older than a month. If someone wrote me a month ago and still hasn’t heard back, they’re probably not expecting a response now. And if it’s something really important, I can always search for it later.

So I did it. I archived everything prior to 6/15/2008, and now I’m working my way through the 63 messages in my inbox. It’s kind of a weird feeling, like when you throw away the receipt and have a weird feeling that something’s going to break…but I am looking forward to making progress on my quest to become an e-mail ninja.

I’ve started another round of unsubscribing from newsletters, etc. and I was pleased to see that Tablet Hotels is now on Twitter. I was able to safely unsubscribe from their newsletter, knowing that I will not miss a single update on hotels I will probably never stay in but enjoy drooling over.

Yay!

    How does one get 16,000 e-mails in their box? That boggles my mind. Maybe you should try this? http://two.sentenc.es/

    I like the concept of that. I think four or five sentences is more realistic for me. However, my problem is honestly not how long it takes me to reply, it’s the sheer volume of e-mail that I get. I would say 75-80% of the e-mail I receive does not require a response. There’s just too much of it. :(

    And hey, I did that response in five sentences. Woot!
