Per orthonormal's suggestion I started recording every time I noticed any sort of lack of productivity-conducive activity at work. We'll see how it goes. Yesterday I made 17 notes. Also I looked up how to insert the date/time in Evernote. It's CTRL + ;. Also I did note this instance of interneting already.

I finally took my bike out for a ride.

I'm using ActiveInbox per lukeprog's suggestion. I like it a lot. I'm not sure how far back in my 15,000 emails I want to go before bulk archiving all the remaining emails, but going back over the past month I found about a dozen dangling threads I wanted to follow up on with an email or task.

Yesterday I tried to drive my remaining GMail tasks down to 0. I instead went from 13 to 10. Then up to 13 again.
