Why this matters
Why bother?
Avoided emails grow heavier the longer you avoid them. The dread is almost always worse than the actual reply.
How often
Same-day for urgent, weekly triage for everything else.
Best time: A fixed block (e.g. Tue 4pm) so it doesn't eat your whole day.
Pro tip
Two-minute rule: if a reply takes <2 min, do it now. If it takes longer, schedule a 20-min "email triage" block.
Common mistake
Re-reading the same email 6 times instead of replying. Read once → decide → act or schedule.
What happens if you skip
Missed opportunities, annoyed colleagues, and the mental tab that never closes.
