There's something truly gratifying about clearing out one's email in-box. The one I have at work hasn't been emptied since I got the thing (it bottomed out, once, at 30 emails; it usually hovers around 70-80), but my own personal in-box doesn't see as much action anymore.
So I spent a few hours sorting and deleting about 1,100 emails today. Wow. Now, of course, I have a list of things to do that a bunch of those were supposed to remind me of (checking the electric bill, sending stuff to people, checking in on old friends, and so on), but at least the in-box is clear.
Well, the electronic one. My physical in-box has all sorts of things in it, but thankfully not 1,100 things in it. Tougher to ignore when it is right there on my new awesome desk.
