Recently I decided to take a risk on AI and hand over my completely unmanageable personal inbox to Claude.
I was getting about 100 emails a day because I signed up for far too much stuff and then spending my time on the treadmill each morning frantically trying to read them all in case I missed a deadline or a school payment for my kids or a genius business idea š.
I had a great system - skim read every email so I was at zero each morning (for about a second) and star all the things I needed to go back to... then I decided to host my first bundle, launch a new product and start a new skool membership and I was done š¤Æ
I realised I couldn't keep up this ridiculous routine of trying to read over 100 emails every morning half of which were just garbage. I decided to hand it over to Claude cowork and see what it could do, I was at the point where if things got 'lost', I didn't care anymore, I could barely see what I had and the time was just sucking the life out of me.
When Claude was finished, I had over 1000 'star' items in a folder š¤£š¤£š¤£ all that stuff I was tagging because I HAD to read it later... seriously š I'll probably never use the star again...
But I also had all my business newsletters filtering to a specific folder, all my notifications to another one and the best system - A morning email digest in Claude that I can scan in 5 minutes and decide what needs action today without going through 100 emails to get there.
I need to refine it but far out its been awesome (and if it has deleted some stuff, well, I don't care š¤£)
What's the one thing eating your time every day that you keep tolerating? š
