Last fall, my teammate, Pamela Vaughan, and I made a terrifying and exciting decision. We were on a big mission to reduce our graymail, and we decided to do something drastic.
We created a workflow that initially unsubscribed 250,000 people from our emails — which was roughly half of our list — and would continue to unsubscribe unengaged people over time. Plus, we completely eliminated the option to receive instant notification emails from us.

As someone who dabbles in Photoshop, I often get odd requests from coworkers asking if I can take person A and insert them into situation B. Usually, it’s for an internal slide deck, or a Wiki post, or for a Slack-related practical joke.
And while there are usually a bajillion more important things I could be doing when these requests come in, I nearly always say yes — with the caveat that I’ll spend a maximum of 15–20 minutes working on it.
