Yes. Your assistant sorts the backlog by sender and topic, archives newsletters and notifications, unsubscribes you from lists you do not want, flags the emails that need you and drafts replies for the rest. Then they set up filters so it does not happen again. Most backlogs of that size take 10 to 20 hours.
Below is what an Executive Assistant does, what it costs and how to hire one this week.
What Your Executive Assistant Handles
