Got 200 unread emails and no idea which ones actually matter?
Stop digging through them one by one, ChatGPT can help you figure out what needs your attention first
Here’s the prompt:
“Go through these emails and sort them into 3 groups: needs an immediate reply, important but not urgent, and can be ignored. Summarize each important email in one sentence, identify any deadlines, and draft short, natural replies for the ones that need action.”
Paste in your emails, or use a connected inbox
Save this prompt for the next time your inbox gets out of control. Spend your time replying to what matters, not sorting through everything else

@RoundtableSpace do you paste in all 200 at once or in batches? long pastes tend to get lazier near the bottom

@RoundtableSpace sorting 200 emails into 3 piles still means you read 200 emails. the agent should be answering the boring 150 before you wake up

@RoundtableSpace Sorting 200 emails was never the hard part. Answering the 3 that matter is.
The prompt works best if you tell it who your boss is, otherwise everything looks urgent.

@RoundtableSpace How do you feed everything in without copying each thread?

@RoundtableSpace This could save so much time. Prioritizing emails makes it easier to focus on what truly matters.
