The book and methodology direct us to make it as effortless as possible to add things to our Inbox(es). It also recommends having physical and virtual Inboxes, often at both home and office or even Car or anyplace where you will find the need to record a thought.
That's wonderful for Capturing, but how can we avoid Inbox Creep?
Meaning that as days progress we find ourselves spending greater amounts of time on the Daily Review Processing. Because we are processing more and our time is finite, we find our Someday / Maybe lists overflowing, which also adds more time to the Monthly Review.
The solution (clearly) is to put fewer things in your Inbox, but this is not always possible to do, particularly for those of us with Monkey Mind, particularly in the case of email, where Other People put things in your Inbox.
If I can put things in my Inbox at a faster rate than I have time to do the Daily Review for all of them, that's not a sustainable system.
How are other folks addressing the issue of Flow?
Thx in advance,
