Inbox Zero, Merlin Mann’s Action-Based System For Email

by Scott Beale on August 22, 2007 · 3 comments

Speaking of email management issues, last month Merlin Mann gave an excellent Tech Talk at Google on “Inbox Zero”, his action-based system for managing email.

Merlin runs the productivity website 43 Folders and is a master of GTD (Getting Things Done), the work-life management system developed by productivity guru David Allen. Here’s the video of his talk (it’s about an hour long) and the slides that he used. Also check out the 43 Folders series of articles on Zero Inbox and GTD.

Been meaning to watch this for a few weeks now since I’d heard about it. I’d read the original posts, but Merlin’s speaking is quite engaging. Fun.
