And even there, I disagree. I think the weekly review is even more important, as lots of people have tried getting everything out of their head, and within a few weeks are faced with an out-of-date, out-of-control monster of a system.

I think a consistent weekly review can fix an incomplete, broken system. But a complete, broken system won't work without regular reviews.

I suspect we're in violent agreement.

Anyway, back to inboxes. Yes, a foundational productivity pillar is emptying your inboxes frequently. It's certainly a learned skill; folks aren't born knowing this stuff.
