Strategy (I wish): at the end of the working day on Friday, just clear everything that's (metaphorically and actually) on my desk into the wastebin. If it's important, it'll resurface. Anything would be better than coming in on Monday morning, having a few desperate issues in my mind which need action, and discovering that my to-do list contains a whole lot of other issues which want to be acted upon, and it's just impossible, and I want to go home.
