E-Mail - The Great Organizer - NOT
More and more of my life is being organized by e-mail. Let me clear on this... e-mail is not only my main method of communication, but it is my check list of todos.. Instead of filing messages.. I let the accumulate until the issue they address is resolved. It is my only system, but maybe one that will eventually get me in trouble. The reason I like it.. e-mail just keeps coming 24/7. So I can ask you a question via e-mail and eventually your response will show up in my checklist (e-mail). One problem.. yesterday, my e-mail file got corrupted or something and every messsage I would have gotten from 12pm till 8am this morning.. went into a black hole.. Ouch.. Looks like my system has flaws! Or maybe I need a dual e-mail system :)

You do use GMail, right? If not, everyone one the planet has invites. :-)
Either forward a copy from your current email system to GMail (i do this for work), or let GMail forward a copy to your current email system (i do this for home). I then use GMail as my primary email client (for home and work) and use the home/work mailboxes to keep a backup copy. You could easily flip the model.

MY Bad.. when I Upgraded FireFox.. it decided that it would modify my filters and thus really mess with me bad.. It is fixed now, but that is a very strange bug.. Thanks for the suggestion of GMail..
