    That system only ranks communication by people, not by what those people have to say to you. So, you'll effectively be presuming that a person will only ever say something of a certain level of importance to you. That just wouldn't work for me, because I never know what people are going to say to me next.

I'd rather scramble through with a freestyle system, and only do what is most important to me right there and then. That's what you'll ultimately do anyway.

    @Nick Messaging revolution - love that! :) FB email is so darn broken, it bugs me daily. I'd love to see even some simple add-ons, like flagging, folders, forward, archive, etc. I was just talking about my 115 unanswered FB emails here:

    @Neil thank you SO much for saying that about GTD. I keep going back to the book and just cannot seem to "get" it!! Freestyling rocks! :)
