Mark Cuban Details Solo Strategy for Managing 1,000 Daily Emails

His hand-managed system uses AI-driven replies with a strict unread-under-20 rule to process up to 1,000 messages daily.

The billionaire ex-’Shark Tank’ investor checks his inbox between workouts, Zoom meetings, and meals—and he’d never outsource the job to an assistant.

Overview

  • Cuban juggles 700 to 1,000 emails each day across three phones instead of sitting through meetings or handing off the task.
  • He relies on Gmail’s recommended responses for about 10–20% of messages and taps AI as a typing hack for longer replies.
  • The billionaire organizes his inbox with folders and treats his unread count as a productivity metric, keeping it below 20.
  • He rarely disconnects from email, only taking full days off for extraordinary family events or emergencies.
  • Cuban maintains decades of archived messages dating back to his 1980s CompuServe days for searchable historical reference.
