The average professional spends 28% of their workweek on email
That's 11+ hours a week reading, writing, and re-writing messages. AI can cut that in half for the routine ones, so you can spend your time on the emails that actually matter.
Before you draft a single email, learn the decision framework. For every email in your inbox, ask: should AI draft this, help me draft this, or should I write it myself?
Pick the type that matches your situation. Each one is pre-structured so AI knows exactly what to draft.
The more specific you are, the less editing you'll need. Think about what the recipient needs to know and what you need them to do.

You've got 12 email templates, a triage system, and the judgment to know when AI helps and when it hurts. Start with the easy ones. The time savings add up fast.
