Jim(@raffel):If you're busily answering emails to clear your inbox, you are working a list, it's just not your list. It's an agenda others have set for you. If you're working the lists and projects you've created in a system like @basecamp you are working your list. You're focused on the agenda you've created. Answering an endless stream of emails comes last if at all in my priorities these days.
