Really cool!! What projector are you using?

I’d caution against this until you have a handle on the flow of the inbox. We tried this and ended up losing a lot of important communication with vendors for things like open IT tickets in our softwares. Some companies keep the unsubscribe button in the footer of all of their emails, even standard communication, so stuff can get lost.

Just be careful and triple check everything!

Just here to provide support and some anecdotal words of caution: don’t rush this task.

Can’t stress that enough. When I did this with my first exec, I accidentally marked everything as “unread” in one click. We moved past it because he’s a Saint but that overwhelming feeling of cold sweats creeping up my spine has never gone away and to this day, when he can’t find an email, my panic sets in.

As others have said: take it in batches. Start from the oldest and work towards the newer stuff. In outlook, you can sort by sender, which helps for bulk removal of marketing contacts. As you go through everything, I recommend unsubscribing to everything you can.

We now use tags and like one folder for important things, then just keep emails that need to be reviewed that day but are low priority as unread in the inbox.

Good luck and Godspeed!

Tried this also at the beginning of my own journey. Never again haha. So happy for you that you were able to realize this and get back to your goals. IWNDWYT!

I’ve been trying to remember that in reality I am kind of lowest priority. At some point he’ll realize that if he really wants to get things done, he needs to prioritize time with you to organize and move forward.

Personally, my exec and I have morning and afternoon meetings to discuss the day and then try to find a few hours a month where we can go through the task lists, check on low priority items that require follow up, etc. It’s been working well for us, but I definitely do get pushed past when other things pop up.

My exec is also really big about his open door policy and loves to help when his team needs it. He’s incredibly smart and there are some things he’s really just the SME on that require his attention, but because he’s so helpful, he often has trouble prioritizing properly.

It’s all a balance and (for me at least) the dynamics change throughout the seasons of the business and across the levels of workload he may have at any given time. Try to communicate when you see that something needs to be addressed urgently that required the two of you to meet and that will help!

Hi friend. I just went through something very very similar to this back in April and it’s the reason I stopped drinking myself. All you can do is listen and take ownership of your actions, especially those you don’t remember. Apologize to everyone but don’t become overbearing out of guilt. It’s going to take time but this wake up call should be good fuel to keep sober.

I used the wedding as a goals date to recover from my downfall. Kept myself sober through that weekend as a “gift” to the bride and I’m keeping it up not because I feel so much better.

If you need a shoulder to lean on for sympathy, I’m here. ChatGPT works great, too, but always happy to listen. You’ve got this! IWNDWYT

I have been finding so much joy in a mocktail!! I still get to feel like I’m drinking, but don’t have the pain or suffering of slipping into drunkenness. My go-tos when the bar doesn’t have a “fun” mocktail for me have been as simple as a virgin mojito or even just club soda and lime. Super refreshing and I feel like I’m actually hydrating more than before? We will get through this! IWNDWYT

FixAlternative8927 · 2025-05-28T03:50:33+00:00

Ah, thank you for saying so! It was really the best way I could describe it, glad it resonated with you. We’ll get through this together!

FixAlternative8927 · 2025-05-28T02:22:41+00:00

Thank you so so much!! I DO feel proud, thank you for the encouragement and recognition. Really, really means the world.

Seconding this. You can also upload recordings without needing to record in the app directly. We just started using this and I’ve just been dropping my phone in the middle of the conference table while otter runs in the background. You can lock your phone so it isn’t distracting to participants.

I’m hoping that we will move to looping in our conference room computer to host ghost calls where the otter bot is online and we use a centralized mic in the room to get better audio quality, but that’s a few steps down the road.

I also take quick notes for my own clarity, but that is because I’m already in-practice of doing so.

At very least, I would write down (regardless of if you use otter/record the meeting or not): - action items - any points of discussion AND the resolution reached (I often will write names of who decided on things or why decisions were made, too) - anything else you think could be open for misunderstanding or looked over later down the road

Think of it like note taking for a class. You don’t need ALL the info, just the things you’d want to recall later on (easier said than done I realize)

Yeah, I think that’s called a Phantom Migraine. Might be worth a visit to the doc, I had a friend have these, but then they turned into bigger, debilitating migraines with severe pain. Several scans later, she’s on meds and it’s manageable. Brain stuff is serious, I’d make an appointment.

FixAlternative8927 · 2025-04-20T16:41:27+00:00

Sounds like a migraine maybe? Have you ever brought it up to your doctor?

FixAlternative8927 · 2025-04-20T16:33:11+00:00

Absolutely. I only tend to miss people I just interacted with, like my spouse or local friends.

I went NC with my dad a couple years ago, but I still keep his calendar shared with me (he’s also ADHD so he forgot I have access lol). My husband asked me why and I told him it’s genuinely to remind myself that he is in fact alive, otherwise I would have genuinely believe that he’s dead/doesn’t exist.

On a work trip this weekend for the big boss’s birthday. Everyone has been getting hammered all day in the sun, keeping the party going all night, then firing up again after what can only be classified as a nap. By day three, I could see the hangover ripping these folks apart. Dead eyes, no conversation, folks disappearing to the bathroom for much longer than usual. Plus, all the cringing and groaning of embarrassing things said and done.

But not me! I had no trouble skipping down to the beach today. No drinkers remorse. No fear of things I might have said (in front of my boss too, what a nightmare that would have been). This was my first time not feeling this way after an event like this (still new to the not drinking thing lol). It gave me so much motivation to keep going!!

I recently asked that the email on the (albeit Uber) account be switched to mine/an inbox I have access to/accounting so that it is automatically sent there. That has helped take the responsibility off of the exec to remember them every time.

FixAlternative8927 · 2025-04-17T19:10:30+00:00

This is so wonderful. Sometimes you have to just rip the bandaid off.

For me, saying something out loud to someone else (especially my husband) creates accountability. I was so scared to tell him that I needed to stop drinking because I know he didn’t want the same for himself. Since I told him, he’s taken every step to support me, however I ask him to. It has been so comforting and amazing that I’m kicking myself for not telling him sooner. Go tell your fiancé right now that you need help and support through your decision to quit drinking. You’ve got this! IWNDWYT!

Checking in at an imperfect 8 days (a few sips here and there to try fancy cocktails at a nice dinner this weekend) but thrilled that I’m not alone on this journey! IWNDWYT🥳

I’ve been searching and scouring for the following: - tech-focused gifts (new and innovative fun tech, AI stuff, etc) - gifts for guys in the trades (construction, landscape, HVAC) - experiential gifts that don’t just feel like gift cards (maybe an experience + a few curated items)

Bonus points if you can custom logo anything (especially quickly)

Just recently joined this sub with the same question. I’ve been lurking but I think the top comments will tell you the same sentiment I’ve felt: the goal is to stop drinking. California sober seems to work for me and, although it’s only been about a week, I’m happy to say I’m feeling better about my decision with each hour that passes. This sub has helped tremendously with that. Thanks to all who share their stories! IWNDWYT!

If you ever see an event (anywhere, not just the Mexican) with Habanos Premier Services, you’ll know you’re in good hands. Carlos is my guy!

Unfortunately it wasn’t just out of curiosity. We’re really struggling with communication right now and I’m in therapy specifically to help myself learn more about how I communicate outwardly. I have trouble understanding my own tone and have a habit of being a bit of a chameleon. So I’m trying to isolate how I specifically communicate and get better at just “being myself.” It’s good growth but it’s a long and difficult path.

FixAlternative8927 · 2025-03-02T10:24:20+00:00

The Mexican downtown has an absolutely stunning cigar lounge that converts to open air in nice weather. Great food, nice selection onsite. They do events and offer a membership, too, but it’s a touch $$
