daily declutter

A few months ago, I committed to dealing with the mail the day it arrived. Junk mail goes directly into recycling. Bills go on the desk to be handled appropriately.

So why not do the same with my email?

I address it as soon as I can. If I'm not going to read it, I should delete it, not let it languish unread in my inbox. Delete the junk immediately. A coupon? Not going to use it, delete it.

Digital clutter is still clutter.

oh, I keep emails forever. I'll never reach inbox zero. I will, however, deal with emails as they come in. I'll read and delete, or read and keep, or delete. There are no unread emails in my box.
