Morning inbox triage

Every weekday at 7:30 the inbox dog reads what came in overnight, sorts it into archive, draft and needs-you, and asks once before archiving and sending the drafted replies.

The graph

A run walks it from the top, one step at a time. A Decide step comes to you as a card and the run waits; it carries on along the option you choose. Steps marked write change something, so they run only after an approved Decide.
