Methodology: The CAP Method for Email Management

Schedule Email Sessions:
- Book 1 to 3 time slots of about 45 minutes each per day.
- Choose times when concentration is typically lower (e.g., after lunch or late afternoon).
- Keep the Inbox closed and notifications off outside these sessions.
CAP Method Steps:
1. Trash (C for Corbeille/Trash):
  - Quickly scan emails focusing on sender and subject.
  - Immediately delete Spam, advertisements, irrelevant emails, or outdated information.
  - Use the reading pane to preview emails if unsure.
2. Classification (C for Classement/Classification):
  - Identify emails that require no Action but need to be kept for reference.
  - Archive these emails into well-organized folders that mirror your physical or computer file system for easy retrieval.
3. Action (A for Action):
  - For emails requiring Action, distinguish between:
    - Tasks that take less than 2 minutes: handle immediately (e.g., quick replies, sending documents).
    - Tasks that take more than 2 minutes:
      - If urgent, place them in an "urgent" folder and allocate specific time to handle them later.
      - If not urgent, defer by adding a reminder or copying the email to your calendar on the appropriate date, then archive or delete the original email.
Once the Inbox is empty, return to deep work or process the urgent folder.
