I just found out that it's the best setup for me and so far I'm using it after almost a year later when I published this video.

I just found out that it’s the best setup for me and so far I’m using it after almost a year later when I published this video.

My initial reaction though is based on the GTD adage "you should only have a thought once unless you want to". Are you not having to think through your emails twice in this setup? Thanks!

I use MobileMe to have my iPhone in sync with my mac. I have push-email turned off though. I don't like it when email is pushy and tells me I should check it. I'm checking it when I choose to. This way I'm not a slave to email. @Tomek – thanks, great tip on using Exchange on the iPhone. I use MobileMe to have my iPhone in sync with my mac.

You get mail, calendar AND contacts synchronized over-the-air in your iPhone. On mac 10.6 calendar and address book sync takes 2 minutes to set-up. No need to sync thru iTunes anymore -- which is lenghty and tedious and affects how effective you are ;-) Why use IMAP when google supports MS Exchange on iPhone?

I'm taking action on every email, but really, most of them are either archived or deleted... only the rare ones go to [Reply] folder or are being replied right away in 2 minutes.

One challenge - By living with a zero inbox you have to take action with every email. Why not have your reply and thinking but just leave everything else in the inbox? If you deleted what you know to be trash and mark all else as read you accomplish the same function with less work. It may not be as pretty but it makes better use of your time and keystrokes.
