Even though many products exist on the market, from calendars, email clients, task management and meeting schedulers, all of them compete for the user’s attention and rarely interconnect to make her life easier.
Define your schedule by creating slots representing a type of work: processing inbound messages (emails, chat etc.), doing administrative work, checking social media, meeting with team members, concentrating on important tasks etc.
"A 40 hour time-blocked work week, I estimate, produces the same amount of output as a 60+ hour work week pursued without structure."

Turn anything into a task never to forget anything, from a conversation on Slack, WhatsApp, Messenger etc, a mail from Gmail or a Web page or else and maintain context (reference to conversation, email etc.) to easily come back to it and close the loop.
Following the Getting Things Done methodology, capturing a thought is extremely quick (both on mobile and desktop) so as to reduce one’s mental load.
Several times a day (according to your processing slots), process your inbox of inbound messages: emails, chats and tasks alike.
For every item, either the task can be performed quickly and it is archived; it is snoozed to be re-evaluated at a later time or you can ask Routine to allocate an amount of time in one of your pre-defined slots.
"When I know I have emails in my inbox that haven't been dealt with, I find it hard to concentrate on other things."
