Librarian in Black Blog – Sarah Houghton

ReadWriteWeb had a fabulous article a couple of weeks ago that describes five different approaches to dealing with email overload in the article Five Methodologies to Deal with Email Overload.  Each approach gets a few paragraphs of description and "how to."  I actually practice the first method described, a method from David Allen’s Getting Things Done.  Of course, I didn’t know it was from GTD and have been doing it for 7 years, but I’m glad that my method gets some street cred.  This article will be useful to many library staff members, I have a feeling, as the whole "too much email" complaint is probably the one I hear the most.
