💡 Tips

  • As you learned earlier, Splits are meant to promote focus, so you should reserve them for intentional workflows or priorities. Two to five Splits can help with creating structure and prioritization, while more than five can reduce productivity by increasing email processing time.
  • Name your Splits with an emoji to save space and add some color! Just hit : when naming 😄
