This is getting ridiculous. There are now 504 messages in my inbox. Some of them are important: from people interested in my new web-site project.

I read in a biography of Robert Moses that he always responded to correspondence on the day it came even, working as late as necessary to get it all done. This way, it never accumulated.

I’m no Robert Moses, but putting everything on hold and clearing out my inbox once sounds like a good idea right now.
