Emails dictating your day

Do you start your day by opening your inbox — or by deciding what actually matters?In this episode, we explore how email has quietly become the architect of our workdays — and how that shift is impacting our focus, stress levels, and sense of autonomy. Drawing on Microsoft’s research around the “Infinite Workday,” I share a simple but powerful alternative: plan your day before you open your inbox.This isn’t about ignoring email — it’s about repositioning it. Because unless you’re a brain surgeon, most things aren’t truly urgent. And when you take ownership of your priorities first, everything changes.A practical, reflective episode for anyone who wants to work with more intention and less reactivity.
