Walk me through a day in the life of your gtd system

Most of the posts/sites I read discuss setup and technologies people use for GTD. I feel like I have a handle on the concepts and getting set up. WHere it falls apart for me is using it in practice. As soon as the flood of daily email enters my inbox, I can't maintain all my lists. I'd like to see some "day in the life" walk throughs of how people use GTD throughout the day.

After lunch I open my email application an get the new emails. This is the only time during the average workday I deal with my emails, I get around 50 messages per day. So I have all those emails in my inbox. I now process each email one after another. If I have to write a reply and it takes me less than 2-3 minutes, I just reply. If I have to write a longer reply or do some other action before I can reply to that email, I put it into my @action folder. I then switch to my Texteditor and add that particular action to my n/a-list. » POSTED IN:
