Subject: working method

1.inspiration sometimes comes when cleaning email that has been piling up in
my inbox for the last year

2.reading outdated emails, calls for papers that i missed, letters from nice
people that i couldn't even answer, kiss off letters i received in response
to some job applications, and drafts i started and never finished, makes
one realize that time flies.

3.this apparently mindless task becomes a triggering point for deep
reflection, and reconsideration of one's life and work.
