Ignorant

Only the government can afford to have that third box!

It’s not a problem if you put it in that box.

Things always have a way to catching up…karma

The ignore bin is usually cylindrical and sitting of the floor.

That’s a good way to prioritize. Only move to the “action” box after a repeated request. Works when the job is overwhelming.

Many ‘problems’, if ignored, DO go away. See Dilbert.

At least he’s working hard at doing nothing?

I don’t have an Ignore basket, but I do have a Ripen basket. Better PR, y’know.

My baskets were labeled In, Out, and Too Hard.

When the IN pile gets too high you simply place everything in the OUT basket. It will buy you a few days while the mailroom sorts things out.

(((sigh)))) Another customer service joke ?

I know someone at work that when his email inbox gets too full, he deletes all the unread ones. He says, “If it’s important, they either send it again or send a nag email”. Interesting concept. I just can’t bring myself to do that when that happens to me :)
