I use the same approach, I added some ideas from Scrum to organise emails into tasks in gmail and use an “Attic”, a label for ideas / tasks that have gone off the boil, put them in the attic and forget about them and pull them back in if they come up again.

Great for prospective projects that take time getting off the ground.

One thing I’ve done that’s helped a lot is to send anything that is a “to read” email into Evernote (which is a tool I freaking love). Evernote gives you an email so anything you email to it will go into your notes, and it allows you to specify which folder the note goes into. I find probably 30% of my emails are people sending me something to read, but which isn’t actionable.

One thing I’m trying to do now is figure out a way to send an email to Gmail and have it go directly into the Gmail Tasks functionality. So if I get an email at work, I want to send it right into a Task. Know how to do that?

And both of you sound like you use Things, I’m assuming you both highly recommend it for to-do lists?

I have similar thoughts on Inbox Zero – most emails in my inbox relate to deliverables or tasks that need to be done. Sometimes I delegate things to a “later” folder that don’t make sense to do right now, or that I am waiting on some other person to do something before I can proceed. Then I use Things app on Mac to add miscellaneous yet low priority to-do items that originate from emails (then I archive the emails).
