Merlin Mann’s ‘Inbox Zero’ Talk at Google

“Advanced common sense” approach to creating a simple, manageable system for dealing with large amounts of email. One of several clever observations, which certainly applies to me, is that those of us who started using email in the early 1990s (or earlier) developed habits and conceptions — based on the then-available email clients and very different number of messages received in a typical day — that no longer apply today.

For those who don’t want video, Merlin has an MP3 of the audio.
