You opened your inbox this morning.
And it was waiting for you.
Emails from the holidays. Follow-ups you delayed. Questions that piled up while you were away.
It feels like debt. Like you're already behind on the second day of the year.
But here's a different frame: That inbox is proof people want something from you.
Not all of it matters. Most of it doesn't. But somewhere in there are opportunities, connections, the next step forward.
Don't try to clear it all today. That's a trap.
Pick the three that actually matter. Reply to those. Archive the rest without guilt.
The inbox will never be empty. That's not failure — that's traction.
This is Founder FM. Handle what matters. Ignore the rest.
