Since for the next two weeks I will be working on behind the scenes maintenance with Writing 101 and Blogging 201 from WordPress, I decided to work on another “behind the scenes” project known as taking out the email trash.
Oh boy does my email get cluttered and it is my fault. I always need to keep learning more and more so I sign up for all sorts of newsletters and blog posts to hopefully help me be a better blogger, writer, jobseeker, networker and a better person overall.
Word for 2015
My word for this year was Thrive (and I’ve once again survived but not thrived). There were 3 words that supported “thrive” – Intentional, Simplify, and Trust.
Well yesterday I intentionally simplified by email by logging back into my Unroll.me account and deleting a lot of subscriptions to newsletter and blog posts.
It’s simple. All you have to do is create a Unroll.me account using your email and a password you remember, then it will show you all the newsletter and blog posts you have subscribed to. You simple click “unsubscribe” to anything you no longer want to receive. This is a great tool for simplifying your email inbox.
Now my email looks a lot better and yours will too.
Stay tuned for the further adventures of Michele’s “behind the scenes” life during the next two weeks.
Have a joy filled week.

Great suggestion of Unroll.me. I never heard of it until now and just recently manually unsubscribed from every subscription i had. That would have been very helpful! Thanks!Future email purges will be easier 😉
Future purges will be a breeze.
