Or use a spam filter. However, none of programs available today work 100% correct. You have to bear in mind, that spam filter might delete some important messages. Well, my experience is, that if you use a filtering system you will probably clean up your Inbox as good as if you use a spam filtering software. But advantage is, you won't miss important emails.

What ever system you use, a filter in your email program, or a third-party spam filtering product, controlling unwanted emails is a must. And if even that is not working anymore, setup a new email address and share this one just with people very important to you. This will reduce flood of spam mails for a while.

3. Set aside "in depth" reading time. Asign times for in depth reading of articles and other information. At these times you could read your articles and do further researches. While reading articles, you could also do review which is mentioned in next paragraph.

4. Review stored information regularly Information has a short life. It is essential to review information you store regular, to keep information actual. All old and no more usefull information must be deleted or thrown away. If you don't review regular, you will see your folders mess up and your computer harddrive will get very full. No kidding, soon you will have thousands of files. When reviewing remember to review also bookmark in your favorite web-browser. You may save it for later reference. A review should be made at last every 6 month, at least once a year if information is for private use. Business owner should review every 3 to 6 month.

Conclusion It needs a structure and discipline to handle information overload we all are facing every day. If you don't follow your own rules for Information Management, you will be losing information game one day.

To win information game has little to do with time management, it's an issue of self organisation and discipline. While implementing and using above described solution you will see that things are changing to be more comfortabel for you. You might also find out that life of information is not really that short as most people think. Good Luck. ------------------ ARTICLE END ------------------

Quadruple Bottom Line (QBL) For businesses QBL has become a powerful defining factor for operation this century. The quadruple bottom line takes into consideration following factors: 1. Environmental 2. Social [Internal factor] 3.Cultural (including governance) [External factor] 4. Economic.

Some say that sustainable development is dead with current wave of conservative ideals and economic prosperity throughout world. A "What's In It for Me" (WIIFM) attitude. However this is only current paradigm for this cycle.

After all, if environmental, social and cultural factors are not considered, then business operation cannot be sustained. Industrial growth can never be sustained over long periods, due to its cyclic nature and as all resources are finite. Mathematically it is impossible. This may account for why average length of time Australian Companies stay in operation is only 12 years.

If you own or run a business, now is time to take a stand for QBL principles and your environmental responsibility through waste minimisation, energy analysis, reduced rework and handling through quality plan implementation and an increase in social responsibility to increase morale, reduce absenteeism and improve overall work performance, for example.

Governments of day must also stand up for cultural responsibility through good governance and a wider understanding of people's needs, desires and goals in life. Not only will you live up to your environmental and social responsibilities, but you may also save money through increased efficiency and productivity, and hence, increase your bottom line anyway.
