Every 6 months or so I finally get around to clearing out my email inbox.

Tonight I was inspired by this video of blogger Merlin Mann discussing his technique for attaining “Inbox Zero” to a crowd of Googlers. Mann explains that it’s just no fun (and non-productive to boot) to be working out of the inbox all day, constantly refreshing like a mouse hitting a lever to get some cheese.

So 2 hours later, I reply to an old email from back in March before archiving it, and then … drumroll … no emails in my inbox! Instead, I’m greeted with this message:

Oh no, please no. 

Using Google Reader to check my RSS feeds is my other vice. And I’d rather confront that another night.
