Rose Lounsbury explains how to stop treating the email inbox as a to-do list and process it to zero every day.

Quotes to ponder:
"The best way to process email is to start at the top and work your way down, one email at a time."
"This rule states that if a task will take less than 2 minutes, do it now."
"The key to making this system work is processing your inbox to zero, and then checking ACTION and AWAITING RESPONSE."
