[Alpine-info] Inbox Zero with Alpine, anyone ?

[Tatar Kolos]

Hi,

In a wider context I try to do this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done

One of the foundations of this is what is described here.

A non-empty inbox is basically noise which takes effort on your side to 
manage.

What I had to learn from this is that my inbox is not the same as my 
todolist.

Best,
Kolos
