How many new emails did you get today?
100, 200, more?
Do you subscribe to more blogs and newsletters than you can read? Me too.
Let’s not forget the time we spend checking Twitter, and Facebook, which leads to cute videos (I mean educational videos) or photos.
I’ve started applying the one in, one out system. It’s something I used with my kids to keep them from accumulating tons of junk. Sound familiar?
You can try my system.
- One in – One out.
If I subscribe to a new blog or newsletter I must unsubscribe to one.
If I save an email, I delete an old saved email. (You know the emails with the little colored stars, check marks or whatever by them)
- What tricks do you use to find quality over quantity?
- How do you purge your inbox?
I may have to begin a new system soon: One in – Two out.
Sigh, still have too many unread emails.
Share your secrets to a clean inbox in the comments section.
