0 unread emails

I have finally done it. It took me a very long time, but I got there. I diligently read, responded and filed 100s of emails. And now, there are no unread emails in my inbox. (Well, there probably are a few now). Email was negatively impacting my life. It wasn't making me more productive. Each trip I went on or vacation day I took would set me back a few more, and a few more. I would look at my inbox and see the bolded unread messages (sometimes in the 100s) and then the read mails that were just sitting in there, taunting me that I needed to do something, that I needed to follow up on something.

Forget losing weight as a New Year's resolution, go on reduced email diet. I feel refreshed, lighter, my laptop fits better.

Thanks Sara, now I feel really lousy about my huge saggy inbox! ;^)

I'm intrigued to know though: have a bunch of blog-readers seen this and then emailed you just to test your resolve??

All the best, Robin
