I have a ‘Pending’ folder in which I keep all emails where I need to take some sort of action in response.
The further breakdown of those emails is somewhat revealing:

climate change activist and science communicator; photographer; mapmaker — advocate for a stable global climate, reduced nuclear weapon risks, and safe human-AI interaction
Today, I had reading for a class and the seminar to attend, and still have a meeting of PhD students writing the public policy comprehensive exam, a presentation on ethnography to complete for tomorrow, a meeting with a lawyer about getting a photographic model release (which took a month to schedule), and a 350 meeting where I have promised an updated version of the divestment lecture.
Tuesdays are also the day where I always miss lunch (because of my seminar) and dinner (because of 350).
I’ll keep it short and sweet. Family, religion, friendship. These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business.
I agree; family first and it will lift you up. You will get more family emails and your feelings will improve exponentially.
