			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tonight I somehow ended up watching <a href="http://www.merlinmann.com/">Merlin Mann</a>&#8216;s presentation on his <a href="http://www.43folders.com/izero">Inbox Zero</a> email management system.  It&#8217;s based on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done">Getting Things Done</a> method of personal productivity.  </p>
<p>The entire video, which has been around awhile, is great in and of itself, but the thing that I want to point out here is that, about 40 minutes in, Mann discusses the various GTD apps out and about and says the ones that don&#8217;t work so well are the ones that<em> try to do too much and are loaded with features</em>.</p>
<p>Once again &#8211; simple elegance FTW.</p>
