It's shrinking
So in my previous post, I mentioned the new system that I was going to try to get my email in box under control. I am thrilled to report that in less than 1 week, I have been able to take my email inbox from over 1,200 emails down to less less than 10! And a few of the 10 that are left are there to help me remember some things I need to take care of in the upcoming week.
Now I did not accomplish this in just one song a day like I had planned, but it was pretty close. I have had to rest more often than not over the last week due to a flare up of a health issue so I was not feeling very productive on anything else. But, even from bed, I could find the time two or three times a day to delete emails on my ipod for the length of one song. And instead of feeling down that I had to spend so much time resting this week, I am excited and feeling like I have achieved a big goal since my email has been a constant source of annoyance for me.
So what's next? For email, I will keep deleting new emails for the length of one song each day so the number does not rise back up again. And since I will not have so many emails to deal with, I am going to try and figure out how to unsubscribe from anything that I do not really want hitting my email inbox on a routine basis.
As for what my next step in keeping my life simple, I think it will be going to bed and trying to get a good night's sleep. Maybe then I will feel well enough to tackle something in my room, or have another idea like my email one. Good night all.
