Ever consider declaring email bankruptcy? My friend Phil turned me on to this concept.

Apparently people are so overwhelmed by their email they have decided to delete everything in their inbox and start fresh. They simply have no desire, or time, to sort through their email. An email is then sent out to everyone in their email list requesting that if they are waiting on a response to an old email..... resend it! I would love to hear from someone that has actually done this. I am curious to know how effective it was and if it helped you get your inbox in order. I am also curious to know if the people asked to resend their requests were agitated or supportive.

I might get a bit agitated if someone asked me to resend an email because they couldn’t get their act together. But at the same time, email can really become an obstacle. I have worked with clients in the past with over 4000 emails in their inbox. I might have to start recommending this tactic to the serious cases I come across.
