Many people struggle with the large number of emails they receive every day.
Here some ideas how to cope with them:
1. Only read message addressed to you. Ignore CC-messages.
2. Tell everyone, that if they don't receive a reply after one week, their message has not been considered.
3. Delete all messages at the end of the day.
4. Do not send any messages.

Please tell me if you know any other useful approach.

You might have heard of Conway's Game of Life. A nice implementation is Golly.

2012 Reprint of 1949 Edition
Some time ago I wrote about Pareto, Gini, inequality, etc.
Now, a reprint of an important work has been published: "Human Behavior and the Principle of Least Effort" by G.K. Zipf.

today
After the yoga class yesterday, the teacher said a nice quote. The closest I could find is:

"Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift of God, which is why we call it the present." (Bil Keane)

Although she did not mention the God thing.

Tanu
In contrast to what is commonly suggested, life in Samoa is hard. In my case, I am still suffering muscle soreness at various parts of my body. In addition, I was constantly experiencing the so-called lost-item-syndrome, i.e. permanently checking, if I have all my belongings with me. Last but not least, we had to eat tons of raw fish - yellowfin tuna in the form of Oka or Sashimi.
Now I know why Samoans live in fales. Good night.
