How do I manage my inbox?

In my role I get copious email, direct, cc'd for visibility or automated stuff.

In Gmail, I build a rule to label and archive automated things like alerts or bills and keeps them out of my inbox and I can choose to engage at my leisure.

For everything else I star and archive. I have a few points throughout the day I triage or act on. Immediate response things get responded too, things I need to address but it's not urgent I star and archive. Then I look through my starred emails occasionally to see if anything has risen in priority for me to address, and I do so. Everything else lays untouched in starred.

What I find is this keeps me close to inbox zero, helps me keep important stuff visible and often stuff I've starred, given time takes care of itself before I engage and I eventually unstar it to never be seen again as it just wasn't important or didn't need my engagement.

It works well for me. Sometimes I get behind, and that's ok. I'm only one person, and I have time boxed time to prevent email dominating my life

My 7yo daughter is deep into Kpop and totally got me hooked when she was 5. Her first concert was Blackpink at 6, and we saw Baby Monster a few weeks back. Additionally, not Kpop, but we took her to Atarashii Gakko last fall. My daughter has better taste than I do.

It's my first digital body and I'm not too precious about the sensor/look details between the different bodies after the M9. As long as it mounts my glass and I can play in Lightroom I'm happy.

I got lost in all the breakdowns between the M8-11 minutiae. Eventually, I just set a budget and kept my eyes open for a body.

I picked it up used at the Leica retail store in Soho NYC in better condition and pricing than I'd seen at Adorama and B&H for the same model.

I don't have much to compare it too beyond an M6 and I find it feels good and is solid as you'd expect from a Leica. It's one sweet unit.

Here is a pic of the body
