Claude answers 90% of my emails.

“I’m sorry, Kristen. I must have overlooked your email.”
I send that one a lot.

Why would I read the 1000’s of emails from mechanical and electrical engineers along with their project counterparts when all they do is spec out equipment and cable trays. 95% of my inbox is a steaming pile of dogshit.

I have filters set up. My folders are set up by priority. High priority folder gets replied right away. Daily Priority gets a reply before I leave. Low priority gets an "eventually". Adverts go to the external folder.

My inbox is my to-do list.
Outlook displays a message "you're all caught up" when it's empty. Thanks MicroSoft. I worked hard for it

I don't read them all, but I mark them all as read.

More former director at a Fortune 10 company had outlook set up so he would have to be in the To: field or it would never even come to his inbox. If he were in CC, he'd never see it. That took his daily email intake down to about 100 emails instead of a thousand.
When I was at that job, it got to where nobody would read any email unless they were "@"'d in it. Too many damn emails flying around.
I'm at a small company now, I get maybe 3 or 4 emails a day. It's so refreshing.

I spend maybe 5-10% of my time reading or composing emails these days.

You think that's bad. My wife has 2,000 unread text messages.
