I cultivate the idea that you've got a 50/50 chance of successfully reaching me via email. There's 3 people whose emails go into a special folder I monitor regularly. Everyone else goes into the regular folders that gets skimmed once or twice a week. About once a day someone pings me on im to ask me to actually read an email they sent and then I do. It saves a ton of time.

I’ve always treated email more like a news feed than a to-do list. To me, stressing out over unread emails is like stressing out over “unread forum posts” or “unread news stories”. Does every email really deserve my attention?
