A tweet from a friend reminded me about dealing with unread email… an absolute scourge and demotivator of the highest order. Everyone has to find their way, their system to clear out email and get on with work. I found my way after creating a scheme derived from Merlin Mann’s Inbox Zero which I have blogged about previously. It does work, and you can figure out my way by looking at my inbox…

So deal with the motivation suck that is an inbox with unread emails, and get to it so you can get back to work.
