...Badly enough. Anyway to sustain high loads when happen my mix is:
- most of my digital life in Emacs/org-mode(org-attach,org-roam,ol-notmuch,...) so (almost)anything is ready at my fingertips, I can have a clear view of anything case by case or build one on the fly with org-ql/zetteldesk etc all in an unique ecosystem, not many different places to look for anything;
- noting most things, especially too offload relevant details and being able to see long/mean terms slow stuff normally not easy to spot and often a source of time waste if not spot in time;
- extensively using email aliases to easy scoring messages, when I'm in a rush I can simply cherry peak mails by alias filtering instead of unread so when I can't do anything I just get exposed to what I can do in a good priority order, well, good as good I can draft it up front, here count notmuch, Emacs, MailDrop and a local-based mail setup;
- reduced number of com channels: people must know that they can reach me ONLY physically, by classic phone (VoIP, few numbers with a small domestic pbx) or mail. No n-th chat apps, no third party modern suite (Meet, Teams, Zoom, WebEx etc);
- anything that can be done quickly done ASAP with the old military adage "if it's a life-or-death urgent: ignore it, they are already dead; if is very urgent next: week might be good; if it's just a bit urgent: tomorrow it's ok; if it's NOT urgent: do it ASAP!!!" so I try to avoid piling up things to have the emptiest pipe possible when a peak arrive, that's the part that work less though...

UI never heard of this before! This is both hilarious, and oddly in *some* cases i can see the rationale with the thinking. Either way, quite interesting and TIL; thanks!
- kkfx 4y agoYour welcome :-) In the end my real point is: I have no special revolutionary solution, just suggesting to do their best to live the life since we work to live not the contrary and living is our real "target". The tooling part is just a suggestion and a reminder about how much we need and how useful are classic desktop systems where the user is at the center, not the service like modern ones...
