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.
