WCW- How Many E-Mails Are In Your In-Box Right Now?

Everywhere I turn there is an article about e-mail management. MacWorld has a great article detailing ways to keep your in-box to zero. 43 Folders and GTD also provide great information on this subject. The bottom line is that we have far more e-mails to deal with than even five years ago. Estimates put the amount of spam at between 71% to 97% of all e-mail messages.

Getting your in-box to a perpetually empty state may take time. You may not succeed immediately, but it is well worth the effort.

I am the chief of sinners! As of this writing, I have 1285 e-mails in my in-box. I know, I know. I pledge to attack this problem utilizing the principles outlined in the articles above tomorrow.

How many e-mails are in your In-Box this very moment? Tell me HERE, if you dare.
