One thing I’ve noticed since adopting the GTD lifestyle is that it’s important (and, fortunately, easier) to get my email inbox down to zero every day before I leave the office. An email that’s left un-handled one day is just going to scroll out of view the next morning, which is basically like entering a vortex of inattention. So I now take 15 or 20 minutes before going home and empty things out, deleting things that have been handled, and adding kGTD tasks for things that haven’t been.
A pleasant side-effect of all this (and maybe the real reason it’s so important) is that I leave the office feeling like things are in order, not as if there’s a monkey on my back.
