Lately I've been working on improving my efficiency for getting tasks done at work and at home. A big part of this effort has involved making changes to the way I keep track of to-do items and emails I need to follow up on. Today, I'm proud to say that I got my inboxes at work and home down to less than 20 messages. At work this involved clearing out a backlog of over 1000 messages that had piled up over the past few months. I feel better already.
