Excited to hear more and check it out... 1. I emailed my speakers for my conference this week and was surprised at an email I received back saying one person was out of the office for the week and if it was urgent, contact so-and-so. But get this...the last line said, "Also, because of the volume of email I receive, I'll be deleting what comes in over the week, so please email me fresh on Monday." BRILLIANT!!! I suggest everyone do this while on vacation. **I LOVE lifehacker!* 2. Found Alltop a few weeks ago. The Guy Kawasaki is brilliant. I hope to meet him someday. 3. Computers are great until they break. And if you're serious about a Blackberry specialist, let me know. I may be interested. =) Congrats on launching. Excited to hear more and check it out…

I'm extremely gullible and rarely get jokes other than my own which no one else finds funny. But in my defense, you never can tell with Penelope when she's being hyperbolic or for real...I mean, just a few posts ago she said she stabbed herself in the head, and she's still kicking, so I guess I shouldn't take what she says all that seriouly. @ Sidney - Hmm, yes, I suppose you are right.

I was a few days behind in reading my subscriptions and just got to this article. If I'd deleted it, I would have missed out this information! I did...however...delete many other unimportant e-mails.

Try resetting. Reset, (v): To delete one's entire inbox, all new blog feed updates, turn off one's computer, and take a day to go sit by the lake. You'd be surprised how liberating (and terrifying) this can be. Want to try a new tactic for getting back on track? Try resetting.

Why the hell pay 350k? I feel this blog was a tad little on the personal side, and couldn't extract much information from a rather good-sounding title. Maybe you should have gotten a little *more* on track before writing this post... take it easy, alright? And thanks alot for the alltop link! Who the hell is Ryan? Why the hell pay 350k?

Just two days ago I had more than 200 posts I didn't read. I thought of deleting and starting fresh! For some reason I started to do the opposite, read them fast so I can start fresh. I didn't finish em all, but I am going through and quickly reading all missed posts. I'd say a better approach is just to quickly go though them, and read what seems interesting. Soon we'd ba back to zero unread, waiting for the new ones! I don't dare to delete the blog posts I missed. Just two days ago I had more than 200 posts I didn't read.

As for the fit - totally get it, it works for me all the time, usually not in hotels rooms but when things are too much to cope with - a fit can do wonders to balance the pressure.
