Opening my work laptop like a sealed sarcophagus filled with an ancient evil.

@maxeddy I go back on Thursday and am debating between actually reading my emails from the last two weeks and just deleting them all and waiting for the follow-up reminder emails to indicate what I actually need to follow up on...
Show threadMax "Buzzworthy" EddyJan 3, 2023
@YLE_KOT both are valid approaches, but one is a power-move.
Show threadMike RobertsonJan 3, 2023

@YLE_KOT @maxeddy I always declare email bankruptcy after a long vacation. I donโ€™t delete, though - just mark as read. Then if someone asks for a follow up I can search and find the original email.

But Iโ€™m not going to proactively read 200-300 messages. Thatโ€™s just lunacy.

@mrmikerobertson @maxeddy agreed. Honestly, I never delete anything, I just mark as read and archive so they are still searchable.

@YLE_KOT @maxeddy Having just retired a few months ago, I can say with tremendous relief that I no longer have to face that dilemma, not that I ever developed a workable strategy to cope with it.

@maxeddy I know that feeling. Been back to work for two days now. I'm sure my laptop is cursed and slowly sucking life and my will to live out of me.

What are the sacred words you must whisper over it to protect you from the curse?
