It’s April 30th, coming up next month, but that was a year or two when the fabulous podcast Reply All did it. No reason it can’t be done again!

If there’s an email response you’ve wanted to send but been too anxious to send, you can send it on April 30th, without any apologies or explanations for all the time that has lapsed. It doesn’t matter how long it’s been. Just include a link to this explainer, the one you’re reading right now, so that your recipient knows what’s going on. Together, we can all make our inboxes less stressful. Alex Goldman
