How do you avoid the snowball effect?

If many tasks/mails are coming everyday and you are snoozing them to the future, you are adding more tasks/mails to your future inbox, which in turn will motivate you to snooze them again, feeding the task monster. Until one day there are so many snoozed tasks that it is overwhelming.

That's when you have to make some hard decisions about what you will, and what you'll never get to. At some point you should just start deleting tasks.

The important stuff floats to the top and gets done. The rest doesn't.
