Wow. My inbox at work is actually empty. Considering I’m a David Allen acolyte, this should be an everyday occurrence, but it hasn’t been for months.

It really is a relief, though. Maybe this will motivate me to do the same at home.

Got the XBox 360… Not only have I not purchased any games on an actual disc yet, I don’t really care. Everything I’m playing has been downloaded to the hard drive (some actually purchased, some just demos).
