Rapid inbox prioritization after a busy period or Monday morning catch-up
The prompt
Triage everything in my inbox from the last 3 days. Sort into three groups: (1) Needs my reply today — flag each with a one-line summary of what's being asked. (2) Needs my attention this week but not urgent — list with subject and sender. (3) No action required — archive or move to a Reading folder. Show me the plan before applying any moves.
