Cleaning my emails and setting up calendar

I have been very unorganised since COVID times. As I have become a contractor lately I found a need to organize my time better and fit in some of my hobbies and sports. As I am currently staying home ill I finally found some time to work on this part of my life. Over the course of the weekend, I have deleted 4000 emails and unsubscribed from a lot of newsletters. And it is so freeing to see only 3 emails a day in my inbox (I still have to go through about 2000 emails that contain attachments I need to backup but I am getting there.)
The second thing I am implementing is calendar blocks to go through my email and other agendas I need to do regularly (or automate) to earn my time. I want to dedicate 5-10 minutes a day to email and other online chores I need to do.
For future work, I saved improving my to-do list. So far it used to be a mix between need to be done things, notes from travels and a shopping list. I am using todoist which allows me to separate "projects" to keep focused on one thing at a time. I will try to utilise more priority utility and clean up the mess I have in the inbox.
Thank you for your course.
