They say an organized inbox is the sign of an organized mind or the mind of a control freak—equally productive. Here's how you can assert power over the hoards of emails dumping into your inbox every moment:

• Arrange your emails in order of how many exclamation points they have. Delete the ones with the least.
  

• Delete emails from lawyers or anyone who wants to hold you responsible for your provocative neighborhood graffiti.
  

• Any advertising emails sent to you by a company should be printed out and framed.
  

• Make a folder for emails that would have probably been written as snail mail during gentler times.
  

• If an email has pictures in it, it's either a forward about the power of angels over humans or a forward about hidden glass in movie-theater seats. Either way, pass it along to your entire address book without thinking twice.
