> I think the point still stands about how one person speedrunning their inbox can make everyone else's inboxes that much worse.

I think you're looking a little too strictly through that Cal Newport quote.

There's another big problem that isn't external: The people who speedrun their e-mail like this (which isn't every Superhuman user, to be fair) are also harming their own understanding of those e-mails.

From what I've seen in a few people, it turns into a false sense of being productive while they self-sabotage their own communications. Inbox Zero becomes the goal and they think their job is done when those e-mails are all gone.

That's also very true. Most of the people I've interacted with who communicate that way (the "one question per email" thing hits painfully close to home, lol) seem very... maybe "oblivious" is a polite way to say it. I guess I never questioned whether their inbox-speedrunning is why they're so oblivious vs. whether it takes an oblivious kind of person to think that's an effective way to conduct your comms :P
