In this episode, Jason connects a daily email triage to a Notion database and logs the morning run automatically. He starts with one row per email, decides that's overkill, and iterates the layout live to one row per day with a summary. The bigger idea: stop letting work disappear inside chat threads. By storing triage results in Notion, you build a knowledge base that a future daily briefing can pull from instead of re-checking your inbox. He closes by updating the scheduled task and skill so every morning run writes one summary row to Notion on its own, with no chatting required. Tools shown: Claude Cowork, Notion, Gmail connector, scheduled tasks.
