Here’s a blogger, Amit Agarwal, who’s living the pro blogger’s lifestyle:

The first thing I do in the morning is check my email. I have
subscribed to lot of Google Alerts, Yahoo groups Mailing Lists, CNN
Alerts, Microsoft Newsletters, etc. I also get emails from my blog
readers with questions as well as suggestions. To handle the email
overload, I have setup a bunch of Gmail filters which are generally
very effective. I try to reply to emails the same moment I read them
and if I can’t, I label them “To Reply”. Then I keep
opening this “to reply” folder several times during the day
to make sure it’s not growing in size.

Yes, that’s what I do too. I usually start work at around 6 am, and spend the first hour or so on email before I start writing.
