Wow My Inbox was Full!

As you may know, one of the best ways to find new products to review(especially in the make money online niche) is to subscribe to different websites' newsletters. This is a very useful way for marketers to grab your email and send you offers, value, and products they recommend for you to purchase.

Well today, I decided to delete my emails and unsubscribe from products/services that I had subscribed to in order to discover which products were being promoted.

I just finished deleting 7,000 emails and unsubscribing from 20 email lists. Oh... and it took me almost an hour. That's because I didn't bother reading them.

I've said this before and I'll say it again; don't get distracted by your emails and avoid shiny object syndrome. If you didn't read an email when you first received it back in March, chances are you're not gonna read it EVER.

Get rid of the clutter in your life and your business so that you can focus on income producing activities. Emails isn't one of them. This is a very tough lesson that is still taking some time for me to grasp.

Don't be afraid to delete those emails though. Unless you are actually acquiring value from those emails, you don't need them and you won't really miss them.

You're welcome! It really does help. The high number of emails can be stressful.

Yes i am certain that is the best mindset to have. They can easily get in the way of productivity.

Good move! I clean on a regular basis...
