The inbox stress indicator

A good gauge of how busy is my life at any stage is the number of emails in my inbox. I archive them when they're not needed anymore, so I only see what's absolutely necessary in my mailboxes. Usually I have about five for home and two for work. Sometimes, in a bad week, I'll average twelve to fifteen. Currently I have ten at work and fifteen at home for a total busy/stress factor of twenty-five. When I'm usually sitting at a seven, you can see how this would affect me. And while I know it shouldn't, somehow that doesn't seem to register.

PS - I think I'll get to archive a few of them today.
PPS - My work inbox will be nearly empty when I go home.
