Unsubscribe NOW!
My wife's hotmail account gets 20 emails a day - all crap
Mine gets 2 a day - rarely crap
Mine is a dream to manage. With hers its easy to miss genuine emails.
Last month, I unsubscribed to everything. Virtually every email has an Unsubscribe button at the bottom. Most of the time it's one or two clicks and thats done.Really easy & very satisfying.
Sort the inbox by "sender" first so you don't repeat unsubscribe.
In the job we do, we subscribe to so much stuff that it soon clogs up our inboxes
I say - if you don't read it and it brings no value, UNSUBSCRIBE
It means you pay far more attention to the emails that do arrive since you know they are ones you actually want.
Go on, its the weekend - put on some music or take your laptop in front of the TV & get started.

Thank you for this reminder, I had forgotten completely about the 'unsubscribe' link at the bottom of those emails. The email I use for my IM gets tons of junk in it. So, after reading your blog, I went into it and unsubscribed to all that crap.
Thanks again,
Kevin
Good point! most of them I never get time to read anyway. I just skim the subject lines. But I'll dump a few right now, it's easy to tell which ones to start with if you don't want to do them all at once. How many do you get with each promoting the same new Google: Destroyer, Mangler, Manhandler, etc.
Time is your most valuable asset, spend it wisely ;-)
its more about managing your time. Every email that arrives takes some of your time, however small. If you never use it, bin it.
If you come back and say it takes none of your time, there's no point receiving it
Agree that only 5% is worth retaining - this pool will change over time as you subscribe to more things and find new emails more useful to read
The ones I swore by a year ago are now about to get binned as my learning has moved on. No point being sentimental - if they've passed being useful I don't want any of my time spent on them
It a double edge sword. I hate 95% of everything I get... BUT... 5% is really good stuff that has opened my eyes to things I would have not have known about.
There are lessons to be learned from being subscribed to other people's email lists.
For one, you learn how to market via email!
You also get to experience what it's like to be on the receiving end of an email marketing campaign.
This helps you organize your campaigns better.
No one person can deliver stuff you want all the time... it's unrealistic and selfish to think that way.
At one time they most likely delivered something that you wanted. If anything, you own them.
lol... that being said, to each their own, by all means, if you don't want to get their email, opt out. easy-peasy!

Email is such a time waster. Eliminate it and checking it as much as possible to get things done. You gave me an idea for another blog too, thanks.
