one A day for All of mAy
As of this morning, I have 473 messages in my inbox. Why am I saving so many emails? Will I ever go back and re-read these things? Probably not. But the fact that I am going to have to carve out an afternoon and work through all of these emails makes me think....
With the rise of technology, I now have digital chores. Before, the only cleaning that I needed to do involved real, tangible, concrete things - clean my room, clean my teeth, dust the counter, wipe down the table, spray the cat, etc. And now, my cleaning responsibilities have spilled over into maintaining a cyber account. It needs a bit of tidying up. And so I will sit down, read through my inbox and determine which emails need to be deleted. This will take at least an hour of my life. And there will be those emails, I know, that I will think - ooooh, I have got to keep that one.
And so maybe after this cleaning, I will end up with an inbox of...say....85. That's a thorough overhauling. 473 to 85. That is a serious slim and trim. But I am still keeping 85 emails that I will never read again until 3 years from now when I will need to clean out the inbox again. And then, probably only then, will I erase them. Why don't I spare myself the trouble and just delete them all? If they are going to be erased in 3 years without having been read any in the mean time (who goes back to previous emails and re-reads them? I don't even do that with good literature.), it makes sense to clean house. Ship shape.
Tip top.
