Did you see my email??

Last week, I had a friend and newsletter subscriber submit his answers to my raffle, and literally ten minutes after sending me the email, he texted me asking if I saw his email. It reminded me of working in the corporate world when someone would send me a message and tell me they just sent me an email, implying that I should look at it immediately. That's the problem with notifications — your attention is hijacked based on someone else's priorities, not yours. I turned off all notifications, and most recently, I also began using DND more often. It's really great to eliminate those pesky calls.
Regarding emails, I turned my agent loose on them. I gave it access to my business and personal Gmail accounts and let it do all the analysis, always recommend first, and do not do anything until I say the word. It helped me identify the most important emails and draft responses, archive old emails, and unsubscribe to the countless subscriptions I've accumulated over the years.
Going forward, my agent is going to give me periodic email updates so I am not tied to my inbox. This is yet another win for the AI Surfer OS.
