What I do is when I get a message I need to reply to but don't have time, I click in the reply box and immediately save it as a draft, so "draft" shows up next to all the messages I haven't replied to. this works since it doesn't require any discipline (I have none either).

The problem with that for me is that since it requires doing something in a semi-disciplined way, I'm not going to be able to stick with it. I really need tools that I can use to re-organize on-the-fly after I've inevitably fallen into a state of horrible disorganization.

I have a folder called "@Reply" where I place anything that needs action. I also use a folder called "@ToRead" which just includes stuff I need to look over, but not necessarily act on. I use Apple Mail, rather than the Gmail client - I'm still a fan of applications over web apps. Here’s how I approach that problem.
