Inbox Protocol Design

Design an email protocol that ends inbox-as-taskmaster: processing windows, the four-move sort, templates for the repeat replies, and the unsubscribe purge.

Design my inbox protocol. My email reality: {{reality}} (volume/day, the kinds of email I get, response-time expectations in my role, current mess level).

Build: processing windows (2-3 per day matched to my role's genuine urgency — not always-on), the four-move sort (do-now under 2 min / task-it with a due date / waiting-on / delete-archive — nothing stays 'read and marinating'), the repeat-reply templates (from my email kinds: the 5 messages I keep writing from scratch), the unsubscribe-and-filter purge (the 15-minute session that cuts volume 30%), and the expectation reset if needed (the signature line or team norm that buys me slower response without seeming rude). Include the relapse plan — inboxes rot back; the monthly 20-minute reset.

Fields like {{ this }} are placeholders — replace them with your own details, or let Aria ask you for them.
