Ever open your inbox to check ONE thing and somehow spend your entire first hour working on everyone else’s priorities? 🙃

An email comes in. You answer it. That reminds you to find something. While you’re looking, another email comes in.

And the thing you actually needed to work on... you haven’t touched it. 😂

This is one of the patterns I’m trying to change for myself, because honestly... I can spend the entire day responding to emails.

So... I’m building a morning inbox briefing that helps me see what needs my attention before I start clicking through everything.

Give me the client issue. The deadline. The decision someone needs from me. The email I promised to respond to.

And tell me what I need to DO about each one.

Because “you have 36 unread emails” gives me a number. “These three need your attention this morning, and here’s why” gives me somewhere to start.

If you want to try it, connect your email and use the prompt in this video. Review what it flags, then decide what belongs at the top of your day.

One thing I’d add... check for unresolved conversations you’ve already read, too. Opening an email and thinking “I’ll come back to that” does not, unfortunately, count as handling it.
... Ask me how I know. 😂

Save this for when you need it, and follow along. I’m going through my business piece by piece and sharing where AI is actually helping. 💜
