Once you've minimised the number of inboxes you have and filled them with all of the combined information from your old ones, you'll probably have several huge piles of information to deal with, so it's time to start processing and emptying them. When processing your inbox, don't get tempted to pick and choose between items you'd like to deal with. Start at the top and work methodically to the bottom, without switching between items. There will be things that are easier to deal with, like pieces of junk mail which can just be trashed, and trickier ones like project requests that require work. As a general rule, you should deal with anything that will take less than 3 minutes immediately and note the rest down in your to-do list.
