One of the chief areas of concern has been e-mail. I know I’m not alone in feeling overwhelmed by e-mail and one of the habits I’ve been trying to implement has been something called Inbox Zero.

It may only last a nanosecond, but I had to take a screenshot just to mark the milestone.

Granted, the purpose of Inbox Zero isn’t just about having an empty inbox. It’s about processing the information and getting it out of the inbox into something more useful. My processes have been getting stronger and stronger and today I hit zero.

Here’s hoping I stay there.

AT&T will charge me $499 for the new iPhone 4. If I trade in my current iPhone 3GS, it brings the price down to $310. How can I resist? Please, tell me! HOW!?!?!?
