I just read a pirated copy of Slow Productivity by Cal Newport... Have to say, Martin, you did amazingly well on this piece, summary of a few chapters where Cal goes on a tangent about emails (one of his books was solely on how to deal with emails, which is funny).
True, I open emails almost immediately bc they contain Substack newsletters and I like to get through as many as I can right away. Since I'm not in an office job any more, thank goodness I don't have to worry about quarterly reports ):

Wow, two chapters on emails? Sounds gripping! 😂
I guess it’s not complicated really - you just need some processes to protect you.
Thanks for sharing.

Ha, yeah. The dreaded work emails!
Good work opening this one so quickly! I think you must have been the first maybe?!
I often am. Then I can ✔️the box ):
