Office work on a Saturday
Published 4 years, 4 months ago in life storiesI went in to the office today at noon, because I’m way behind on work. Way behind.
I started cleaning out my in-box. It had 998 emails in it, some dating as far back as January. (I don’t file or delete emails until I’ve had a chance to act on them, if they require action, or, if I’ve had time to digest their import if they’re just FYI messages). 998 emails.
Ugh…
As I was deleting and filing emails, I did a bunch of other stuff like adding contacts to my contacts DB, creating proposals and servicing accounts.
Update: been working for 5 hours, down to 740 emails in my inbox.
Update: been at it for 6.5 hours. Down to 668 emails in my inbox. Created 3 proposals, one contract, and two sales flyers. Time for a beer.

Whew, am I glad to hear I’m not the only one with Inbox Saving Syndrome!
However, I need to get crackin’…I’ve got a whopping 17,891 in the Inbox with 5619 unread…if I start now, I’ll be done by 2006. I gotta get off some of these Yahoo Groups…and I have no need for Viagra, so that should take care of around 17,800.
