DAY 21:Declutter your In-Box

When you open your email in-box are you often overwhelmed with its contents???



If you are anything like me you might be hanging on to several emails for various purposes~like there is a snail mail address in it~there is a really cute pattern that a friend sent or there is a coupon for 50% off!!



Why is it that we tend to hang on to things like this?? Why not write down the address, print off the pattern or at least save it to the hard drive...Print the coupon?? I often ask myself that very question!



I have several emails in my box from 2 years ago??? Why?? I honestly don't have a clue! Maybe it is because someone sent me a nice crochet pattern for a Christmas ornament that I was just sure I would make~one day! Well evidently that one day isn't coming so either it gets saved to the hard drive or it is in the recycle bin!



I'm really tired of being overwhelmed with that inbox!

I have discovered that my email provider has a neat thing that while you are checking your email in the top window it shows you in the bottom window what is on the email~if it isn't something I want to read I hit delete! I don't even bother reading somethings! I see who it is from and either read it or delete it!



If I treated other things in my life like I do my inbox I would be in better control of my life!



Take a few minutes to think about the stuff in life that is holding you back! Maybe it is in your INBOX~maybe it is stuff in your dresser~your closet or right in front of you!

Take control of the delete button~
