How a five minute morning email routine changed my week

I see a lot of people talk about feeling buried under their messages. My inbox used to be a huge source of daily stress. Now, I just open it and sort for five minutes right after coffee. It's a tiny thing, but that clear inbox feels like a win. Starting the day with one less thing to worry about really helps.

Tell me how you sort so fast without getting stuck on one message. What's your trick to keep it to five minutes?

Sort by EMOTION first. Does a message make you mad, sad, or glad? Toss it into a folder based on that. You'll fly through them without overanalyzing.

Sort by logic first. Emotions are messy and will just slow you down with all that drama.
