Wow, I can totally relate. They never seem to have the urgency I need to take action. But at the same time, those unread emails weigh on me, too. And then I hear someone talk about being “Inbox Zero” and I can’t even begin to understand. (I admire it; I just can’t imagine it.)

Man how are you at McK? Haha im actually at a close competitor but like wtf hahaha

Difficulty in reading emails can be attributed to various factors, including ADHD symptoms like difficulty with focus and organization. It's important to explore strategies like breaking tasks into smaller steps and setting specific time blocks for email management. Do you take medication at all?

What I'm confused about is that even as a teenager I could read entire books overnight. But the last two years of high school I started selectively zoning out and the problem has become worse since.

Also I feel the lack of organization in personal life blows into professional as well. If you are a consultant how do u deal with it ?
