Subject: Requesting Sunsama for productivity and planning

Hey [Manager’s Name],

I’ve been using a tool called Sunsama to help me plan my day, stay focused, and avoid overcommitting. It pulls in my calendar, tasks, and emails so I can work with more clarity and less stress.

It’s been a game changer for how I manage my workload. The subscription is $20/month, and I’d like to expense it as a productivity or wellness tool.

Happy to provide more details or walk through how it works. Let me know if you need anything from me.

Thanks!

Less burnout risk.
Daily planning and shutdowns help people actually disconnect at the end of the day.
More focused work hours.
Sunsama helps block distractions and align work to real priorities.
It costs less than one missed meeting.
Seriously—one hour of lost productivity costs more than a month of Sunsama.
Employees stick around longer.
Burnout is expensive. Clarity and calm aren’t.
