I just finished reading the “Four Hour Workweek” by Timothy Ferris. I like it. In fact, just one of his suggestions repaid the purchase price: I don’t keep email in my inbox anymore.
Master of My Inbox!
While I was reading about how Tim manages his email (batch lots), it occurred to me how to handle the 300+ emails needing sorting in my gmail inbox. Really simple solution: Select All, Archive. I now have a fresh empty inbox! For the email in other accounts serviced using Thunderbird client, the answer is even simpler. Do nothing.
Thats’ right. Let the email stack up in the inbox. Screw it. I will no longer waste any more bright sunny days worrying about email.
Firefox gets pwned
Four Hour Work Week leads me onward. I had two FireFox browser windows open, going full tilt at the start of my day. Then Firefox locks up. I sit and wait for several minutes (really, more than 5), and it’s just locked up. I really hate to just kill the browser, all those things underway, won’t be able to get back to what I was doing.
My web browser either serves me, or it doesn’t. So I killed all Firefox processes. Whatever I was doing, if it’s really, really important, I’ll figure it out later. If not, so what, it’s gone.
And it’s not my problem.
It’s a beautiful day
And the sun is shining!
Bye.
Yes, the non-sequitur at the bottom of the previous post was intentional. Welcome to my world.
