Opening them feels daunting the minute they come, and the longer I put them off due to that, the more guilt gets added to the mix too, so they just go unadressed.
Has anyone found a strategy that works for this?

I’ve had a BS email job for about ten years now, and I can honestly say that if it was actually important, they’d have emailed again. And if they should have? Hurray, everyone dropped the ball! You get to swoop in and say “hey, just going over some old emails - we addressed this, right?” Framing plays a big role in how people respond to late follow-ups.
Right, but if I’m avoiding even opening my email software, then I don’t need to see either email lol
It’s just advice about how to answer old emails, I’m not tryna cure executive dysfunction lmao
SEND HELP
Hahahaha I cannot 😕
That makes me feel even more guilty. Sometimes the stress makes me open the new email, sometimes not and these are the worst ones.
We all fuck up. Constantly! We’ve created a world we’re collectively not smart enough to run properly. Forgive yourself, and then reframe.
