While we know that 'Inbox Zero" is the goal, we all get overwhelmed by email from time to time. I asked David Allen for his advice on what to do if we are sinking behind the tidal wave of email. Here's what he had to say.

@Stefan Godothanks for sharing.
imho, inbox zero is not the goal, it is a symptom of a well kept system.
I like instead "Zero Attention Inbox" = not necessarily zero, but I can get it there anytie = it does not need to have my (excessive) attention.
