I recently found Gtdagenda and I think it fits perfectly with GTD. It has goals, projects and tasks, contexts, next actions, checklists, schedules and a simple calendar.

I use Mailwasher to kill spam. Most spam is easily identified by sight and via the various spam blacklists.

But in terms of “managing my inbox”, I received little useful advice from the note. I do agree that responding to trolls is a useless activity.

Thanks so much for the bulk-reply idea, Chris! I never thought of that before. Do you know of any sort of Outlook plugin to help manage spam?

Out of 200 mails 150 are spam..!
and most of the time a have to individually delete each spam as some of my mails get listed as spam. If i was to just delete what ever was selected as spam , God knows what would have had happen.
Great tips by the way..

More fun to just delete everything in the inbox and start over. …Just don’t switch ISP’s, particularly when in a bad mood.

Obviosly these tips were very helpful. The only thing about sending in bulk though is that it bothers me to copy and paste every sender into one box. Is there a way around that? Other then that these types were very helpful to me. I think Gmail is the best at blocking spam. I get 500 spam messages a day and i have never had one get through to my Email inbox. Then there is hotmail. Well that is a different story for a different time.

For the most part, I really fount these little tips helpful, however, there was one I just couldn’t really put up with. This one is the “send replies in bulk.” I also receive about 200 e-mails a day what between my eBay store inquires, my computer help and all the other people trying to contact me. In all of these subjects, I want to come across as personal as I possibly can. I like to have a reputation that I pay attention to everyone individually, not that I, well; reply in bulk. It could just be me, but I much prefer an e-mail just to me rather than an e-mail answering my question, but without being personal at all. I guess if you got tons of e-mails a day this would be acceptable, but I do my best with my customers (and podcast subscribers) to stay as personal as I possibly can.
