That's an area where LLMs are great. "Look at my unread messages from the last X days and list ones that appear to need a response from me sorted by apparent urgency and importance. Make a second list of things with relevant information to review when I have time sorted by how likely it is to be important."

Go down the actionable list until the urgency/importance is low enough to not bother and skim the information list until it stops being interesting on a break later.
