Cleaning out my email in-boxes this morning, filing emails and opening long-unopened messages, is a really good exercise in seeing how I spend my time. I was shocked to see that I hadn't filed emails since February, and I use to be so good about keeping my in-box clean. Avoiding my in-box was a metaphor for being bombarded by emails from every realm of my personal and professional lives. Now I'm finding balance again with the ongoing streamlining.
