Re:

"...circumvents it by basically instructing you to react anytime an incoming event occurs..."

I'm confused by this. My impression is that you make a note of those incoming events and drop that note in the inbox, in order to _keep_ you from reacting to those events and distracting yourself from what you're working on. At least, that's what I do - when a thought comes up, I hit the quick-entry, type in just enough to let me remember that task, and I go back to what I was doing.

Or are you referring to the two-minute rule? Even in that case, I didn't have the impression that you're supposed to do two-minute actions the instant that they come in, but that instead when you pluck them out of the inbox during the time that you've chosen to process your inbox, you do them instead of processing them into the depths of the system. Do I have that wrong?
