- it looks like a massive ad for the presented tools (look at all the "?utm_source=amontalenti" in all the links)
- if you receive 100s of mail/day, you are doing something wrong. Many of them are spam or automated notifications. The first step is to unsubscribe to some of them
- having 50 rules and google app script is a maintenance hell, it can break or be deprecated at anytime
- if you use gmail, gmail's filters and native update/main/priority/spam boxes does 80% of the job
- by treating everything as a computer queue, you are trying to behave like a computer, but you are not one
- it seems the author spend more time at creating kanban cards and to-do lists than actually doing the work
- the point of todo list and kanban is to eventually delegate the work or share it with coworkers. Any private form of organization of your work makes it unobservable, unshareable and unreviewable to your teammates
- if you are an executive/founder, your role is to lead and delegate work. if you have a manager, you role is to simply listen to the priorities given by the manager. If you are an independent worker, you will probably focus on one client at a time
This seems unreasonably harsh, especially accusing the Author of spending time creating to do lists instead of doing work. If you read the rest of Andrew's blog and look at his github profile, you'll hopefully get a different impression of him.
To say anyone who gets 100s of emails a day is doing something wrong is likewise misguided. This is very normal for anyone in an executive role.
