Audit my email time. Estimated minutes per day on email and how often I check: [EMAIL_TIME_AND_FREQUENCY]. Categories of mail I receive with approximate counts per week: [MAIL_CATEGORIES]. Rules or filters I already use: [EXISTING_RULES]. My email app: [EMAIL_APP]. Estimate time per category using counts and average handling times that I provide, with the arithmetic, and total hours per week. Identify categories that could be handled by a rule, a template, unsubscribing, or a batch time. Propose five rules with their conditions and actions described in words (menu names vary, so mark exact steps [VERIFY]), a folder or label structure, and a schedule for checking mail. Include three templates for common replies and a one-week experiment with a way to measure time saved. Do not recommend deleting mail needed for legal, tax or warranty reasons. Add a worked time estimate: 60 newsletters a week at 20 seconds each is 20 minutes, 120 notifications at 15 seconds 30 minutes, 80 conversations at 2 minutes 160 minutes, 10 time-consuming threads at 8 minutes 80 minutes, total about 5 hours 10 minutes, and show the saving from three rules.
