This sounds nearly the same as how I manage my Inbox. People at work know that I "dont give a shit" about email, and won't send me random nuff nuff stuff. If it's a task that needs doing, put it in the backlog or task list, and I'll get to it when it's the next task in my list. I check my email three times a day - when I get in, after lunch, and just before I go home. If you need a response earlier than that, then pick up a phone, walk over to my desk, or speak to my manager and he'll filter out the bullshit. Having a reputation for not responding to email, and not using email as a task list or document store prevents most people from using it for that purpose towards me. I live at Inbox "I dont care" for the majority of the day. Don't really understand how people get so bogged down in it.
