Email by Days of Week
This is just how it feels for me. Day Volume Inbox Level Monday High Starts Medium. Volume is high, but I FIGHT it back to Low because I’m FRESH! Tuesday High Low but growing.

Lot of work to do there. It makes me wonder though. How much of that is just pure noise. Like 329 emails of notifications from some to-do app that a team shares where every single time someone clicks a little like button it generates an email.
