Oh man; working at Jane Street taught me about these. My manager at the time would send these when he was busy (which was often). I thought it was brilliant.

Oh man; working at Jane Street taught me about these. My manager at the time would send these when he was busy (which was often). I thought it was brilliant. I still do this today, 10 years later, usually when I can't just DM them in some way. This happens A LOT as a consultant or consultant-adjacent persona. You're interacting with a client or customer, but aren't in their messaging platform because you haven't/won't be onboarded. It works extremely well with inbox zero as well. I've been inbox zero for almost 20 years. My inbox is a to-do list; anything that doesn't require action gets deleted or archived. An `/eom` email means I can read the whole thing in a phone notification and bin it right then and there. One fewer hop.
