Do It Now —

Nice. The todo / email / information “management system” I’ve been using for a while has a name now:

This doesn’t just apply to email, of course — it works for any todo list. But only if you say no to reordering, prioritizing, estimating deadlines, and doing the most important things first. Forget all that. Do it now.

Seriously. All that productivity snake oil is destroying your productivity. Being productive at managing productivity is not the same as being productive.

E-mail is not a platform for design [zeldman.com] —

“But when I say HTML mail still sucks, I don’t mean it sucks because support for design in e-mail today is like support for standards in web browsers in 1998. I mean it sucks because nobody needs it. It impedes rather than aids communication.”
