Four days without answering e-mails (no internet access out at the tanker) and there's a THOUSAND of the bloody things waiting for me? Gahh. Merlin Mann, save me now ...
In the Comments, open thread on your favorite productivity/lifehacker tricks and software programs. I'll take this opportunity to recommend Dropbox yet again.

For Inbox Zero, you only need an empty inbox 71.4% of the time.

Er.. good luck?

I'm the slew of thousands. Make contact, sir. There is news.
Depending on what email client you use I've had good experiences with ClearContext (http://www.clearcontext.com/ Outlook/Windows only) in managing lots of work emails.
If you are a web guy, then on GMail I don't even bother trying to manage email - I just let it sit there in the inbox and use search to find what I need (may tag a few items, but that's an exception).
See, people can like both MSFT and GOOG :)
Xmarks as a complement to Dropbox --

It allows me to just use my browser's bookmarks as a way to collect all my web research links for each project I'm on and share that between computers, plus have a web-based backup.
NovaMind or MindManager for mind mapping.
Makes collecting, organizing and outputting data much more easy/sensible/comprehensible.
Significant numbers of screenwriters use NovaMind, from what I can see. Novelists appear to have a slight preference for MindManager. Neither is perfectly bug-free for Macintosh, both work better in Windows.
Just create a filter to move any messages from your IN box to the Trash. Done. Then buy a camera from Merlin Mann:

I haven't even gotten done Getting Things Done, but I strongly recommend moving everything in your inbox into a DMZ folder once you've done the items that call out for immediate response. Everything else can just sit there until you need it.
Well. Let's look at it this way. You've got your Long Tail.
One step closer to having that Bochco money.
:D
I know this sounds counter intuitive, but the best productivity software for me is one that makes me take breaks. I have mine set so I work 55 minutes, then I take 5 minutes off. The game I play with myself is that I can't sit during those 5 minutes. By taking those breaks every 5 minutes I am more productive, can work longer, harder, and I feel better by the end of the day.

For PC: http://www.workrave.org
In addition to a to-do list, I keep a "done" list on my computer where I record what I got done each day. It gives me a boost when I'm feeling overwhelmed by all the stuff I still need to do -- plus it's useful if I need to jog my memory about a project I've been working on.
I recently got Things for my computer and iPod Touch and gotta say It's pretty nice. A great way to keep things organized in different ways. I love being able to sync Things on both devices, since I will often add stuff away from home. Anyway, that's my suggestion.

Geez, we take out GMail for a while to give your inbox a break and you still bitch.
LOVE dropbox.
Xmarks is a pretty sweet firefox extension??? Keeps bookmarks and passwords in sync.
next one is tricky to get: http://ttssh2.sourceforge.jp/
Tera Term is a nice Terminal program, but more importantly the install bundles an app called Collector. This thing rules and lets you combine applications into tabs. I use it so i can open multiple explorer windows but they are all grouped and tabbed.
Not sure if http://www.rescuetime.com/ has actually helped me accomplish anything, but I'd like to think so.
Read it Later, an addon for Firefox. Quick, temporary bookmarks, if you want to just save the page and read it a bit later. Also it makes it easier psychologically if you have trouble managing your surfing time - just click and save the page; you'll read it when you have more free time.
You might consider declaring email bankruptcy.
delicious. I can't believe I ever browsed the internets without it.
You could take the "landfill" approach. Essentially you just let your email get so full of whatever emails you get. Then when you have had enough, move on to a new email.
Oh, and one more thing. Sorry to sound like a nagging fan, I'd heard something about you writing a fatal frame movie years ago. Is that still going? (Please say yes...)
Anyways, looking forward to fun blog postings here.
In terms of idea development, project planning, general brain storming, I'd suggest Curio from zengobi. I use this every day and I really like it: curio
I like the title, "Inbox Zero, My Ass"..
Nice Post even its short.
Effortless shot. It is a great way of marketing. You have done a very good job with it, nice post. Keep it up!!!!!
If you use Gmail, I suggest never looking at your INBOX unless you have time to burn. Instead build filters that apply tags and only read based on tags. For example, you might filter on everything that has "canceled unless" in the subject and put that in the "important shit" label. Also add that label to messages from obama@whitehouse.gov and your mom. Now you just read the "important shit," but everything's still in your INBOX. If you go look at your INBOX you see all of the things you've been ignoring and the important things you already know about. No more "it's lost in a folder somewhere" syndrome.
