I obviously don’t expect a great deal of traffic yet, this blog is just getting started. It’s amazing how many spammers have found it already. I get all excited because I think I have a comment, only to discover it’s yet more comment spam.
It’s amazing how much time it takes to deal with spam. I finally ended up organizing my email differently just because I was losing emails in the general background noise.
I use Eudora for my emails, since I’m used to it, but I know Outlook works in a similar way:
I set myself up a mailbox for each person I do work for called “Work–Name” and then set up the filters so that mail from each person goes into the designated box.
Sometimes I have to watch my inbox carefully for a while because the person may have multiple emails, but this has helped a lot–when there’s something new in the box, the box name is in bold, so I know to check it.
Speaking of checking email, how often do you check your email each day?
