My biggest failing in life.
If only I could do the stuff that needs doing.

At work we call it “ bottom-of-the-pile-itis”
As anything tricky just gets put to the bottom of the pile.

My method:
1. All incoming work to top of pile.
2. When asked what's happened to 'X' remove it from the pile and, if it's important/crucial process it. If it's not put it back but at the top of the pile.
3. Every month remove bottom third of pile and bin it.

My boss used to do that

people who talked to him and asked him for things got it done

if they just sent him an email he would print it off and put it on the email pile until someone talked to him about it

and he was one of the most techy people in the IT department - still printed emails like that off just so he could put it on the pile

He was made redundant on the same day as me
his email pile was about 2 foot high and he took great pleasure on dumping the whole thing in the bin

One of my managers used to split the stuff in his inbox into four piles on his desk every morning.
Urgent/Important
Urgent/Not Important
Not Urgent/Important
Not Urgent/Not Important - This pile went straight into the bin.
He was veery keen on having good time management.
