Email Batching Protocol Designer

Design a role-specific email workflow that reduces context-switching without creating bottlenecks or delayed responses.

Updated June 2026
The prompt
Design an email batching protocol for {{role}} at {{company_stage}}:

Current state:
- Email checks per day: {{email_checks}}
- Time in inbox: {{inbox_time}}/day
- Context switches: {{context_switches}}/day
- Expected response time: {{response_expectation}}
- Critical emails (need <1hr): {{urgent_volume}}/day

Output:
1. Batching schedule (e.g., 9am, 12:30pm, 3:30pm) with rationale
2. Filter rules: what goes to immediate vs. batch queue
3. Response templates for common urgent email types
4. Escalation path for emails that absolutely need immediate attention
5. Out-of-office rule (e.g., if away 24+ hours, who covers?)
6. Weekly review ritual (e.g., Friday 4pm, 20 min, clear backlog)

Estimate: hours/week reclaimed + quality of life improvement
