Inbox Zero
Google TechTalks
Merlin Mann's 2007 Google Tech Talk on Inbox Zero, covering Getting Things Done, why an empty inbox matters, and strategies for handling high-volume email. It is a talk on attention and processing mail rather than on emptying it for its own sake.
Cited as the original Inbox Zero talk, and for Mann's point that optimizing how you organize tasks is no substitute for doing them.
