Push Versus Pull

I've written before about the queues I work with, and how I touch each of them every day. One of the things I'm playing with is whether I want to deal with the queue by pushing or by pulling.

If I go with a push method, all changes to each queue get emailed to me. If I go with a pull method, I go look at each queue.

Push Pros:

• I never miss a change.
• I can work my list when I'm not VPN'd in to the office.

Push Cons:

• Significantly greater email
• When there are multiple changes in the queue I get extraneous notifications

Pull Pros:

• Keep all my queues in their place - in the queue, not in my email
• Doesn't drown my other emails

Pull Cons:

• Much higher chance I'll miss something, or be slow on something.
• Can't get to it from outside the VPN

I haven't decided which I like better - push or pull. Any thoughts?
