Empty inbox experience: Alex Fisken

Alex Fisken, a senior manager of user experience at a tech company, writes in that upon emptying his inbox, "the feeling was indescribable."

He then writes a longer review of Bit Literacy:

[The book] is a great read for anyone who works with computers. The most simple way to describe the methodology is that Bit Literacy is a simplified approach to interacting with your computer and not letting "bits" get in the way of your productivity. The most important lesson is dealing with email. No secret sauce here, you just need to recondition your mind to not think of your inbox as a to do list by either deleting, acting upon, moving actions to a to do list, & storing messages accordingly.

He then follows up with a postscript from three months after the post - the method is still working.

If you haven't tried it, you owe it to yourself: take a look at Bit Literacy.
