Now this is a really funny post over at the 43Folder group at Googlegroups. One reader was thinking how he could have some sort of reversable Inbox. That way, anything that gets in First, will get processed first. Michael Langford came with the following tip”
Take 2 identical shoe boxes. Remove lid, discard box 1Cut out bottom of box 2. Put lid 1 on bottom of box 2. Write “INBOX”
on side of box 2. Flip box over write “PROCESSING” on side.Use inbox with INBOX readable. Flip over to do processing.
I have no idea what to do with the extra lid when you’re not flipping
the box over.
How funny and how simple!
