Inbox Triage Desk
Paste a morning of subjects and first lines. Get four piles: reply today, delegate, wait, and archive, plus the sentence to send.
- You paste
- Copy subjects and first lines. From your inbox, copy the sender, the subject, and the first line. Do not paste full threads, attachments, or anyone's secrets. Five to twenty messages is a morning.
- You get
- The sentence. To Alex: 'Section 4 is yes. Sending before noon.' Nothing else gets a paragraph.
- When to use it
- Use it first thing in the morning, when you reread the same subjects every day and the ones that need a sentence are buried.
- When to skip it
- It does not connect to your mailbox or send anything. You paste subjects and first lines, it sorts them.

Sunday Scaries
Dreading Monday? Dump everything on your mind about the week ahead, in any order. Get what's actually due and when, what can wait, what to drop, and the one thing to do first on Monday.
- You paste
- Dump it all. Everything on your mind about the week, work and life, in any order. Half sentences are fine. Add any dates you know, even rough ones.
- You get
- Monday, 9:00. Answer Jonas first. It's the one someone is waiting on and it takes ten minutes. Tonight you can stop thinking about the report: it has two afternoons booked.
- When to use it
- Use it on Sunday evening, when the week ahead is spinning in your head, or on any night before a heavy week when you can't switch off.
- When to skip it
- It only plans with what you tell it. It won't see your calendar or inbox, and it doesn't know deadlines you leave out. If the dread comes back every single week and stays heavy, that's worth talking to someone about, not just planning around.
