The one I didn't see on the list, but might have been illustrated by the image was a filing backlog. I file a lot of personal papers into categories where I can easily get my hands on the files, however, it is usually 1 year or so between filings. I have a desk just for the papers...which I guess could be considered an Inbox. Step 1...The size of the backlog is "huge"..."enourmous"..."big"...not sure I can determine that in non-ambiguous terms. Based on what I've read, I will take care of the problem. Thanks, John Talk about a backlog. The one I didn’t see on the list, but might have been illustrated by the image was a filing backlog.

The analog backlogs are the worst for me. They stare you in the face, clutter your desk and your mind, and take so much time to clear. And you can't just toss 'em, since some of it you know you should keep for tax purposes right? I'm glad that I'm almost done (I have 3 or 4 more sessions to go). Thanks!

Backlogs (though I've never referred to them as such until now) are truly a drag. As a matter of fact, I've got about 4 of the "analog archiving" type around me right now! Thanks for the cool tips and perspective. Great post! Backlogs (though I’ve never referred to them as such until now) are truly a drag.
