Unread mail sorted into urgent, newsletters, and needs-reply before you pour coffee -- so the inbox stops deciding your morning.
The inbox is a casino: open it for one thing and you're pulled into twelve. Some emails need you today, some need a glance, most need nothing -- but you can't tell which without reading all of them.
That sorting work is the actual time cost, and it happens every single morning.
This routine runs every morning at 7am. It reads your unread mail and sorts it into three piles: urgent, newsletters and bulk mail, and needs a reply from you.
You open a triaged inbox instead of a raw one. The urgent stuff gets your first hour; the rest gets your terms.
