Taking Control: The ADHD Podcast

Oh, hello, Email! It's been a minute. How you been? Good? Causing strife in the lives of others? Nice. Well, today we're going to talk all about you and how just maybe some of our listeners can put you to work for them, rather than the other way around.

Show Notes

We haven't talked about email specifically in a while, but we've heard you talking about it plenty. It's still an issue that causes overwhelm and stress — whether you have what you see as too many email messages in your inboxes, or you just don't have a strategy for managing work outside of your email client. This week on the show, we're taking on email for 2022, how it stacks up with other work management tools, Inbox Zero, GTD™, email bankruptcy and more. Along the way, we mention Gmail, Outlook, Spark Mail, Todoist, and DEVONThink, but none of these are specific endorsements — the most important thing we can offer in this show is a set of suggestions for helping you to hopefully see email in a new way, reduce stress, and get back to life.
