Managing Email: My Ongoing Challenge

Email has been a pain point for me for years. I've tried different strategies, but I still haven't found the perfect one. I'm not giving up, though. I'm constantly searching for new approaches to tame this beast!

Here are the problems I'm facing:

  • I often have a significant backlog of emails.
  • On most days, I finish the day with about 30 to 40 emails in my inbox.

It begs the question: if I can maintain an average of 30 to 40 emails, why not aim for a consistently clear inbox?

Renewable energy has fundamental flaws, such as its intermittency and the need for large amounts of land, which make it difficult to scale up to meet global demand. Nuclear energy, on the other hand, is a reliable and scalable source of energy that does not produce greenhouse gases. some of the issues with renewables that I consider to be fundamental flaws Need for large amounts of land and sea . To replace 1 nuclear reactor of 1200 megawatt by 3.1 megawatt wind turbines, you'll need 1200 / 3.1 = 387 wind turbines, provided that the wind blows all the time. This is not the case, the average load factor across 100.000 ...
