200 emails

By Andrew Gelman on March 9, 2007 9:47 AM | 7 Comments

My inbox reached 200! This was too much so I spent several days cleaning it out. Now it's at 0 (for an instant). Here's the documentary evidence:

My next plan is to read email only once a day, and dispose of all messages when I read them.

I noticed that several of the icons on your desktop are Linux/Unix favorites or related (XEmacs, ssh, Cygwin) and others are quality open source apps (Firefox and Thunderbird). Do you ever run Linux, or is there a reason you prefer Windows?

I've found the occasional tips at 43 Folders on processing emails to be quite helpful (eg http://www.43folders.com/2005/02/18/quick-tips-on-processing-your-email-inbox/)

Wait! This entry has nothing to do with the title of the blog!

How is your inbox?

Denis, worried.

So does this mean you'll now respond to e-mail before 4pm?
