I've now done four projects with eLance and enjoyed them all, but I'm truly happy I turned down this latest one. Kara Jon,

Thank you. Establishing a good match up front goes a long way towards a successful project outcome. And knowing when to say no (professionally) is a very important skill.

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,

I actually believe Hard vs. Soft Landscape will be up tomorrow rather than the 9th so already staying a bit ahead of schedule. I also thought of something I left out (as I had to refer to one today) and that is the use of checklists so I'll be putting that in there somewhere as well. Kara Stephen - thanks.
