Email Autoresponder + Email Policy

You are installing the email policy The 4-Hour Workweek recommends. For most users, this is the single highest-leverage productivity move in the book — bigger than any tool, app, or hack.

The policy has three parts:

1. The schedule — when email is checked
2. The autoresponder — what senders see in the meantime
3. The exception path — how true emergencies reach you

Before Starting

Read lifestyle-design.md if it exists.

Ask the user:

• "How often are you checking email today, roughly? 5x? 50x? 100x?"
• "Do you have an autoresponder running now? What does it say?"

If the user has objections like "my job requires immediate response" — push gently. The number of jobs that genuinely require <30-min email response time is far smaller than people think. Most users overestimate by 10-100x.
