43 Folders had a great post this morning about an article from the New York Times regarding email overload.

What I find interesting is that this idea is just now going mainstream. Having listened to Merlin Mann's Inbox Zero mantra for a while now, and Timothy Ferriss' opinions about attention management, I am glad to see this catching on. Email overload is one of the biggest sources of lost productivity to businesses today. Thankfully, it's an easy problem to fix.
