Too much email? How do you cope?

Just read a great rant on Patsi Krakoff's CoachEzines blog about the battle between her creative self and her organized self and the resulting email overload.  I can totally relate.  I think I have about 100,000 emails.  I filter a lot but there are still tons in my inbox that get a cursory glance. 

All my client email gets automatically directed to client folders; ezines go to ezine folders; blog stuff goes to a blog folder, and then there's so much more.  What's worth keeping, what should I delete?

What are your strategies for dealing with email?  Please feel free to post a comment and share your strategies so everyone can benefit. Thanks!

If you want to see a good cross-section of Business Blogs, check out the winners of the 2005 Business Blogging Awards.  The awards were the brainchild of Jeremy Wright & Darren Barefoot of InsideBlogging.

There are blogs by and about small business, leadership, real estate, and much more. I'm in the process of exploring so I can't tell you my favorite at this point.

Next Level Biz Tips: Back Up Your Blog

Just read a post on Sallie Goetsch's FileSlinger Backup Blog about backing up your blog.  I have to confess, it never occured to me to back up my blog until I read this.  Since I use Typepad.com I rushed over to their help manual to see how if I could actually back up my posts. Whew!  It's possible to export your posts through the Manage function.  This task will now be added to my weekly routine.
