Michel Fortin, on his superb blog with the title Puring Freedom Email Clutter said it all:
… being in the purging mood, I also decided to do the same with my email, let alone my business and my mind.
I’ve purged my inbox and unsubscribed from hundreds of email lists. Not 10 or 20, but hundreds!
Some had single lists. But others had quite a bit more. Most marketers have on average three or more autoresponders?—?especially if I was listed as an affiliate. In fact, with one marketer I was subscribed to 22 lists!
I had to check, check, check … scroll down and click “unsubscribe.” Then I’d rinse and repeat. Over and over again. For close to three hours. Feeling liberated is an understatement.
Normally, I get about 1,000 emails a day (i.e., personal emails or newsletters, as we do have staff and multiple helpdesks to handle all of our business and support emails).
This morning, I woke up to nine. Yup, just nine emails… here is his entire post
After you read it, you may want to look at your email box and purge those newsletters that don’t consistently deliver excellent content; hold those who’ve been given permission to interrupt you to a HIGH standard and get yourself free, too. Purge without remorse.
