Comments on: Information Overload http://blog.ho-ohana.com/2007/03/05/information-overload/ Join me on my journey toward Ho-ohana - intentional and worthwhile work Tue, 19 Aug 2008 21:41:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Stephen http://blog.ho-ohana.com/2007/03/05/information-overload/#comment-6 Stephen Wed, 07 Mar 2007 02:52:57 +0000 http://blog.ho-ohana.com/2007/03/05/information-overload/#comment-6 Do you use Outlook at work? Can you add accounts? My work computer/server system filters out all sorts of things, but I have loaded my work Outlook with the POP info for my Gmail addresses so that I can access all of my mail at work. Then, at home, I use Gmail forwarding to my website accounts that use POP access in Thunderbird, so I am able to access all of my email accounts at home too. The email+GTDtag@gmaildotcom part is awesome, because when I need to look something up, I just search through the appropriate tag. Soon I may switch it all around and just use Gmail, as Google is getting ready to allow POP retrieval from other email accounts. Very exciting, as it will be the "universal" account.

I struggle with work email though as I'm on a somewhat closed system. In the perfect world I'd really get down to just one email in box, but right now I have some limitations on the ability to do that. I too have used the Firefox add in with the GTDGmail add-on for Gmail inbox control and it does work incredibly well. Kara Stephen,
