Schedule daily briefs

Let’s bring everything together with a daily brief that reviews your email, calendar, and open loops. Here’s an example of what my brief looks like:

My Chief of Staff Briefing shows up in my Chief of Staff thread every day at 7 AM and 4 PM. It tells me which emails, meetings, Slack messages, and more need a response, and I reply right in the thread with what to handle.

Here’s how to set up your own daily brief:

1. Connect relevant sources

Sources that you might want to connect include:

• Email, including every account where work can land, not just your main inbox.
• Calendar for meetings and conflicts.
• Slack, if your team uses it.
• Google Workspace for the docs and sheets people share with you.
