How I Spend 5 Minutes Per Day on Email

My personal workflow looks like this:

I treat my email inbox as my primary task manager (and note-taking tool).

Tasks are emails I receive from others or emails I send to myself.

I snooze emails until the week I want to get them done.

At the beginning of each week, I go through my email todo list and block time in my calendar for each task.

My VA and I have developed a good enough system now where she's able to handle 95% of my email and I only do email for maybe 5-10 minutes a day now. Anyone interested in something on this process and how we set it up?
