CHAPTER 6
| PROCESSING: GETTING "IN" TO EMPTY
LIFOorFIFO?
Theoretically, you should flip your in-basket upside down and
process first the first thing that came in. As long as you go from
one end clear through to the other within a reasonable period of
time, though, it won't make much difference. You're
going to see it all in short order anyway. And if you're
going to attempt to clear up a big backlog of e-mails
staged in "in," you'll actually discover it's more effi-
cient to process the last-in first because of all the dis-
cussion threads that accumulate on top of one
another.
One Item at a Time
You may find you have a tendency, while processing your in-
basket, to pick something up, not know exactly what you want to
do about it, and then let your eyes wander onto another item far-
ther down the stack and get engaged with 
it. 
That item may be
more attractive to your psyche because you 
know 
right away what
to do with 
it
—and you don't feel like thinking about what's in
your hand. This is dangerous territory. What's in your hand is
likely to land on a "hmppphhh" stack on the side of your desk
because you become distracted by something easier, more impor-
tant, or more interesting below it.
Most people also want to take a whole stack of things out of
the in-basket at once, put it right in front of them, and try to
crank through it. Although I empathize with the desire to "deal
with a big chunk," I constantly remind clients to put back every-
thing but the one item on top. The focus on just one thing forces
the requisite attention and decision-making to get through all
your stuff. And if you get interrupted (which is likely), you won't
have umpteen parts of "in" scattered around outside the tray and
out of control again.

The in-basket is a
processing station,
not a storage bin.
