The Email Batching Habit That Cut My Inbox Time by Half

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the simple but surprisingly effective practice of email batching—checking messages only two or three times a day rather than constantly. Lucas shares his own experience of reducing inbox time from 90 minutes to 45 minutes per day after adopting a strict batching schedule. They discuss the psychological cost of constant inbox checking, the science of context switching, and practical tips for setting up batch windows that work with your role and team. Luna brings data from a RescueTime study showing that the average knowledge worker checks email 77 times per day. They also address common objections like urgent messages and manager expectations. Whether you're in an office or remote, this episode offers a boundary you can implement this week. #EmailBatching #InboxZero #ContextSwitching #TimeManagement #Productivity #WorkBoundaries #DeepWork #AttentionManagement #RescueTime #KnowledgeWork #RemoteWork #EmailOverload #Focus #CalNewport #Career #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #CareersPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
