20 minute mail

The 20-minute mail!

The 20-minute mail, also known as the "20-minute email" or "20-minute mailer," is a popular productivity hack that involves setting a timer for 20 minutes and focusing on responding to emails during that time. The idea is to clear out your inbox by responding to as many emails as possible within the 20-minute window, without getting bogged down in lengthy responses or getting sidetracked by other tasks.

Here's how it works:

  1. Set a timer for 20 minutes.
  2. Open your email client and start responding to emails.
  3. Focus solely on responding to emails during this time. Don't worry about grammar, spelling, or sentence structure. Just get the message across.
  4. When the timer goes off, take a 5-10 minute break before starting the next 20-minute session.

The benefits of the 20-minute mail include:

  1. Increased productivity: By focusing on a single task for a short period, you can get more done in less time.
  2. Reduced stress: Clearing out your inbox can be a huge stress-reliever, and the 20-minute mail can help you do just that.
  3. Improved time management: The 20-minute mail helps you prioritize your tasks and stay focused on what's important.
  4. Better email management: By responding to emails in batches, you can avoid the constant interruptions and distractions that come with checking email throughout the day.
