It’s been a l-o-n-g time since I remembered to do a monthly round-up here at Get Rich Slowly. (Since January, in fact.) I’d like to get back in the habit. I think this is a nice way to recap the best discussions from the past few weeks.
Before I start, though, I have to confess a minor stupidity. Earlier this week, I was trying to re-label everything in my gmail inbox to “TEMP”, which would allow me to at least feel like I’d achieved Inbox Zero. Well, somehow I managed to archive all of that mail instead. I know that I can still read it in gmail’s “All Mail” folder. That’s great. But it doesn’t help me actually find which messages I accidentally archived. So, if you’ve sent me e-mail recently and need a reply, I’m afraid you’ll have to re-send it. I apologize. Even computer geeks make technology mistakes sometimes.
Now, let’s take a look at some of the best GRS articles from November:
- November 4th: How to save: Putting “pay yourself first” into practice (by J.D.)
- November 10th: Make more money: How to supercharge your income (by J.D.)

Oh goody, I’ll pretend to myself that you archived my reader story instead of rejecting it!
Re. inbox zero, I’ve been at that state for about 5 years or so. I had a consultant come by once at an old company that I worked at to review processes / efficiencies. He commented that I was the only person he’d ever seen that had a completely empty inbox. That kind of surprises me, although I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone else with an empty inbox either. Then you get those silly messages from gmail asking you to look at google reader if you want to read something. Good grief.
Here’s the method I use:
