Inboxes

Many years ago, I began reading Getting Things Done by David Allen. One of the first things I set out to do was to identify all my inboxes to determine which ones I would consider approved.

As time has gone on, this list has changed and I find myself occasionally having to revisit it.
 
Here is a sample list as of October 1, 2010:

E-Mail (Home)	infrequently used
E-Mail (Work)	ok
Inbox (Home)	ok
Inbox (Portable)	ok
Work vmail	ok
Cell vmail	ok
One Note	ok
Mailbox	ok
Wallet	ok

As you can see, just this a few common inboxes makes the list quite long. I really would enjoy fewer inboxes, but it doesnt seem likely yet, unless we change the way we store all this information. I have some thoughts and ideas, but will save them for a later post.
