8. Morning inbox digest
The job: One summary at 8am: what arrived overnight, what needs you, what can wait.
Every weekday at 8am, summarize emails received since 6pm yesterday. Format: 🔴 needs a reply today (with a one-line draft I can approve), 🟡 FYI worth knowing, ⚪ everything else in one line each. Skip newsletters, promotions and notifications. Keep the whole digest under 300 words.
Why it works: a strict output format (and word cap) prevents the classic failure mode: an "executive summary" longer than the inbox itself.
