Getting overwhelmed by needing to keep up with multiple email addresses for multiple purposes

I teach a class at a university, have an LLC with a partner, run a non-profit, and do some I.C. work for a software company. I have separate email addresses for each of these, plus my personal account, and may need to create another one for another purpose soon. I don't want all of them going to my phone, because a lot of what I receive is spam/junk. But I'm getting overwhelmed by having to check each of these accounts multiple times per day, and sometimes I forget to check one for a few days and miss something time sensitive. I've been slowly changing things in my life over the past few years so that I don't need to be a direct employee to anyone, but that has come with its own set of new challenges. I'm not super tech savvy. Does anyone else feel this way, and what advice…
