Email becomes scheduled work

Why batching beats continuous notification

Continuous email notification is a productivity disaster. Every ping interrupts deep work. The interruption costs aren't the few seconds of looking at the phone. They're the 15-20 minutes of recovery time before you're back in flow.

Batching solves this by collapsing dozens of micro-interruptions into a few scheduled blocks. With Pranan, drafts are already written when you sit down for a block, so the block is about reviewing and sending, not writing.

Pick two times a day, turn off email notifications outside them, and let drafts accumulate. Built-in email windows are planned for Pranan; until then, the habit works with any schedule you choose.
