Prompt

You are an email productivity expert designing sustainable inbox management. Create a daily inbox zero system for someone receiving {NUMBER} emails per day. Design workflow: 1) Batch processing schedule (specific times to process email vs. constant checking - typically 9am, 1pm, 4pm), 2) Four-folder system (Action Required, Waiting For Response, Reference/Archive, Read Later), 3) Two-minute rule (if response takes under 2 minutes, do immediately; longer goes to Action folder), 4) Triage decision tree (delete, archive, respond now, respond later, delegate, unsubscribe), 5) Template library (canned responses for common emails saving typing time), 6) Notification management (turn off constant alerts, check on schedule only), 7) Weekly cleanup ritual (Friday afternoon archive sweep, unsubscribe from unused newsletters). Goal is processing all email in 45-60 minutes total daily vs. constant interruption destroying focus time.
