Shoutout to the guy who told me to batch my email responses

Tbh I was always a reply-immediately person, thought it made me look responsive. Then I tried setting aside 30 minutes twice a day for non-urgent emails and my actual work got done way faster. Anyone else find this cuts down on the constant context switching?

Started doing the same thing last year after I kept finding myself answering emails at 10 PM instead of doing anything else. The trick for me was turning off notifications entirely during those focused work blocks so I wasn't even tempted to peek. It felt weird at first but now I honestly don't miss the constant buzzing.
