Triage Your Inbox Every Morning

What it does

It reads the overnight inbox and hands you a short brief: the few things that genuinely need you today, the ones that can wait, and the noise you can archive. For the ones that need a reply, it can draft one. You start the day on the three things that matter, not on 60 unread.

The steps

1. 1

   Pull the overnight list

   Gather the subject and sender of everything that arrived since yesterday.

2. 2

   Set your priorities

   Give the assistant your priorities and who your important senders are.

3. 3

   Ask for three groups

   Have it sort into needs you today, can wait, and noise, with a one-line why.

4. 4

   Act and draft

   Act on the top few, and draft replies for the ones that need them.

The inbox triage brief

You are my inbox triage assistant. My priorities today: [1 TO 3 THINGS].
People who always matter: [NAMES OR DOMAINS]. No em dashes, be blunt about what is noise.

Here is everything that arrived overnight (sender | subject | first line):
"""
[PASTE THE LIST]
"""

Give me three groups:
- NEEDS YOU TODAY: the few that genuinely need me, each with a one-line reason and a suggested next step
- CAN WAIT: worth seeing, not urgent
- NOISE: safe to archive
Keep NEEDS YOU TODAY to the real few. Do not pad it.

This one works on its own. The pack adds a reply-drafting prompt and a rule set for what should always be flagged versus always archived.

This one works on its own. The full pack has the rest.
