In another answer, I reference 10,000 hours. Believe it or not, some assistant jobs actually prefer you have an Ivy League degree even if they ask for a career assistant or to promote them up the chain.

So reclaiming my inbox is one of my goals for Q1 2022. Plus, you can always find things with a search or refer back to it if needed.
