unsubscribe

One easy task; a mountain of time gained.

Since the New Year, I've been 'unsubscribing' to the plethora of merchants who email me regularly.
With my ever changing attention span, I've accumulated a multitude of different people willing to contact me daily, weekly, monthly with their pitches of sales, creative ideas, and products to try.

I never noticed HOW many I got in a day until I went on vacation and didn't check my email for one day. 374 new emails. Only ONE was a personal email from my father.

That was the moment I decided to start with the unsubscribe option in my emails. It's painless and easy.
As with anything, the hardest part is starting. I spent about an hour that first day going through my inbox, and selecting the 'unsubscribe' button on each email I no longer wanted to receive.

Each day, my inbox is smaller and smaller....which means I can actually PAY ATTENTION to what is being delivered.

Ah, the joy of an uncluttered inbox.
