Exponential email decay
I'm the worst at keeping in touch with people. I say it, but rarely think it. Actually I think it too, but it's always too late. I get about 200 email every day, sometimes 300. Everything is piped to my BlackBerry where messages exhibit some sort of exponential decay. When something is out of sight, it's out of mind, below the fold – I don't like 'next page' buttons.
This is today. Todays inspiration and todays palette.
Tomorrow I'm doing this. Maybe my taxes too.

I hate that I end up wasting so much time everyday going through email. I usually get about 100-200 or so a day at work. My email is always open on my 3rd monitor so every time I just glance over I'll see that there are a bunch of new emails and that maybe, just maybe there might be an important one. But we all know that happens less than 1% of the time.

Haha...well actually my "third monitor" here is just my laptop on a docking station. But my other two are set up like my desktop I have at home, except one screen runs windows (my laptop extends to this one) and the other linux.
