How to empty your inbox - an even simpler description
Continuing my quest to describe the empty-inbox method as simply and directly as possible... how's this:

2. Delete everything you won't need again.
3. Move all the action items to a todo list.
Now with an empty inbox, you can work off of your todo list.
That's all: Empty your inbox, then work on today's todo list.
Here's my own online to do list to get you started.
Read this in Bit Literacy, and still apply it to this day.
Very good description. I've used this method every day for 2 years and it never fails.
