@meryem_ghazi Thanks so much. we are definitely proud of how we help folks set clear boundaries in their work lives.
@andy_wong4 Thanks for using Inbox Pause! We hope the new pause schedule options work well for you, and of course would appreciate any feedback you have after giving the new features a try.
Hey ayemoah, it's fantastic to see Inbox Pause evolve with the 2.0 version! Setting up weekly schedules sounds like a game-changer for managing work-life balance and enhancing productivity. I'm curious about the team and enterprise solution – how has the early feedback been from companies that have started to implement it? Cheers to helping us all manage our inboxes better!
@alex_dulub We're getting really great feedback from our pilot customers for our enterprise version. People especially like having a company wide hours where the expectation is clear that they are not expected to be checking email or respond to them. They like being in sync with all their coworkers and not have to feel guilty about unplugging.
One of the other not-surprising benefit is the productivity gains that they are noticing. One of them actually tested it by measuring customer satsification score for the cohort that got IBP 2.0 vs the control group that didn't. They saw gains in customer satisfaction scores!
Congratulations on the launch Ayemoah 🎉
This is a very interesting concept.
For people who are interested in Inbox Pause, but may be nervous about missing very important, time-sensitive messages, what would be your advice for them?
@jgani Hi Jonni, yes, definitely that's a common question we get. You can set up exceptions by domain or keywords or sender. Once people try it, they continue to maintain the exception list over time. we have never heard from long time users that they missed time-sensitive messages once they have honed the exception list!
Big congrats on launching Inbox Pause 2.0, ayemoah! 🎉 It's super cool that we can now schedule our inbox to chill out. Makes me wonder, how'd you figure out the best times for focus mode and batching emails? Can't wait to try it and finally get some peace from my inbox madness. Great job!
@my_self5 every person needs something different! We designed Inbox Pause 2.0 to encourage you to customize the schedule and tweak it until it works perfectly for you. Many people find that having a batch delivery in the morning (not first thing, though! Knock out a few tasks before you let other people put things on your plate) and afternoon (again, before the end of your day so you have time to prioritize/respond/push to tomorrow). Focus time is more individualized. I like having a block of time after lunch to refocus and adjust priorities for the rest of the afternoon.
@my_self5 For me, I figured out the best times for Focus Mode by keeping close track of my own energy levels and putting my "Focus Time" block at the hours after my lunch time walk. That's when I know I'm calm and energetic. I use this app called Rise Sleep which help me track my energy level with my sleep quality.
There is so much to figuring out how your daily circadian rhythm goes into structuring your day and when you want to be protected from distractions.
My advice is to find best productive hours in terms of your energy level and reserve them for focus mode.
Congrats team. A great product to help you focus on your priorities without distraction from your emails.
@gavaskar_rajagopal Thank you! I definitely find it helps to shut out inbox interruptions sometimes, but will admit in the past I'd forget (or lack the willpower in the moment 😅) to manually push the pause button. We're pretty excited that the new scheduling features let you set it and forget it – it honestly feels like carving out time for your future self to get things done (or even just take a breather!).

When I come across the launch of an amazing product and realize it says 2.0, I start kicking myself. When said product increases not just productivity but quality of life, I kick myself even harder.
Can't wait to start using Inbox Pause to feel the impact it creates.
Congrats on the launch!
