A daily Sonnet routine answers his routine email and blocks time for the rest

A daily routine on Sonnet reads his email, answers the routine messages from templates, and puts the rest on his todo list. When a task needs more than an hour, the routine blocks time for it on his calendar.

How it works

Routine runs each morning
Reads new email
Routine messages answered from templates
The rest go to a todo list
Tasks over an hour get a calendar block
