One Touching. Here's a cool little completions tool. See how many things you can one Touch. If you get an email that requires less than a couple minutes of effort, one Touch it with a quick response and definitely delete it if you never need to look at it again. But whatever you do, unless you really enjoy the inbox hell of hundreds of opened yet not resolved emails, don't leave stuff in there to pile up. Same with bills. One Touch them. Have fun walking in from the mailbox, opening the bills, writing the checks, and walking back out to the mailbox. Done. There's something magical about getting little things done efficiently, and I really need to do this more.
