	Description:		In this bonus drop for all listeners, Pete and Melissa peel back the curtain on their personal email habits—and how ADHD continues to complicate even the simplest message. This is the fifth installment in the ongoing email challenge (the first four were re-released to Patreon earlier this year), and it’s a rich mix of confession, coaching, and curiosity. We recap where the challenge began in 2018 and what we’ve learned since then: How triage habits evolve (and fail) over time The mental and emotional load of email procrastination The shame spiral of watching your unread count climb into oblivion Then we shift into what’s new: Melissa’s accidental inbox apocalypse Pete’s haunted January shame project Tools that actually reduce friction: Gmail + Gemini, Superhuman, Spark, and a candid look at Mailbird AI’s promise in cutting through clutter without replacing your brain The challenge of confusing your workbox with your inbox Melissa is launching a personal email rehab project and will be posting updates in Patreon for Deluxe members and above. Pete’s committing to finally clearing out that January shame stack. And together, they’re setting the stage for a December follow-up episode—because this work isn’t one-and-done, it’s ongoing.
