Friday inbox sweep
At the end of each week, the agent sorts what is still open, what you are waiting on and what can be put away.
Paste this into your agent
Every Friday at 15:00, review this week's email and sort the threads into three lists: waiting on my reply, waiting on someone else, and finished. For each thread waiting on me, draft a short reply and leave it unsent. Move newsletters and automated notices older than seven days into an archive folder, but never delete anything. Do not send, forward or unsubscribe from anything on my behalf.What the agent does
Gather every thread from the past seven days
Sort threads into waiting on you, waiting on others and finished
Draft replies for the threads that need you
Archive old newsletters and notices, then post the three lists
Rules to add
- Archive, never delete, so anything moved by mistake can be restored
- Leave every reply as a draft for you to send
- No unsubscribing or filter changes without your approval
What you end up with: A Friday inbox reduced to three clear lists, with your replies already drafted.
