I've seen a ton of information on the web about choosing and using email apps and systems. I've even debated making a course about it from time to time. But I never felt like I was the right person to put it together.

Folks are quite passionate about the software they use to access their email. I fell in that camp for a while but anymore I just don't get it.

I used to pride myself in having one of the fastest email replies in the office. If you sent me an email, I was back to you in less than 10 minutes. Sometimes 5.
👋 I'm Joe. I strive to build productivity systems that stand the test of time and help me do more than check boxes. I'm here to help you do the same.
🎙 I read a lot of books and talk about it.
🐿 I can't focus on one thing for long, so I write a lot of code for an eclectic grouping of projects.
📓 And I'm a bit obsessed with finding non-proprietary solutions to digital problems. Thus, text files for the win! 🎉
