I hated that job. The pay was shit, on account of it being me doing it for free at eleven at night. And I wasn't any good at it.
Here's what the job actually was.
Every inbox is a to-do list you didn't write. Most of what's sitting in yours is a task wearing a sender's name. Book the thing. Pay the invoice. Answer the question. Find the file. Chase the person who went quiet on you.
So you sort the list instead of working it. Emails that need nothing from you get archived. Emails that need something get snoozed, because not right now. A few get done, whichever ones you could stand that day.
Tomorrow the snoozed emails are back, in exactly the state you left them. And they brought friends.
So I stopped doing it. My AI assistant has its own email address now. I forward it the emails I'd have snoozed, and they start getting done automatically.
Sorting A To-Do List Finishes None Of It. It Only Decides The Order You Get To Feel Bad In.
And that's just five tasks off your list. The Magic Inbox takes dozens more, and the best ones are the ones you invent yourself.
Adding one of your own takes a sentence. Tell it how to handle that kind of email once, and it handles it from then on.
Work out roughly what an hour of your time is worth. Then think about what you spent last night doing. Copying an address out of a confirmation email. Hunting for a receipt. Writing a reply you'd already written twice this month.
The worse version is the one where you don't do it at all, and it sits there until doing it stops being an option. The quote goes cold. The trial charges you. The buyer gives up and asks for a refund instead.
That's the bill. It arrives as tiredness rather than an invoice, which is why nobody ever adds it up.
Free. About twenty minutes. Your email stays private and you can leave whenever you want.
BCC your assistant instead of forwarding. Blind copy, so the person you wrote to never sees it was there, and it goes to work anyway.
That Thursday reminder is the one to start with. The person waiting never learns you needed reminding. They just think you're somebody who always delivers.
The other four come with the setup, on top of what you came here for.
If you're on Substack, your subscriber list lives inside Substack, and the only way to get it out is exporting the whole thing by hand. Your assistant reads the notification Substack sends you and adds each new subscriber, as they arrive, to a separate marketing list you own in Kit or Mailchimp. That's where your promotions go, instead of into your publication.
Some of it happens out in the real world. I forwarded my assistant an email about a limited screening of a movie I wanted to see, and it came back with two tickets. Best seats in the house. All it cost me was forwarding the email.
Twenty minutes tonight is the whole cost. Put your email in the box and the entire setup comes to you, free. The paste blocks, the filters, the playbook, and the moves nobody on the other end can see.
Your email stays private and you can leave whenever you want.
