That's a useful and sufficient summary. Thanks for extracting things
out like this. Very good email hygiene.

As I said in my other message in this thread, in response to Doug, I
think that this might be counterproductive in terms of easing
burnout. It's probably good for providing more time to get some
things done, but it aggravates the pressure and risks involved in
trying to predict what matters.

Since I've already said enough over on that message, I'll not add
more here.
