I’m not going to lie…this feels…SCARY…
and empowering!
I just went from 20,213 emails to 2!
(4 digits…then multiple 4 digits…then 5 & multiple 5 worth of emails IN the inbox over the years…
I whacked 6,000 of them last week to get it down to 20,000…
that round felt good and only empowering…
This recent round has me…very unsettled!)
My brain is now realizing it’s going to have to find even more EMPOWERING activities to get that same dopamine rush…
(even though I typically only check email a few times/day)
and it’s time to let all of the baggage of 11 years on gmail…
after all…I have archives of EVERY email I’ve ever sent or received anyway…so it’s not like they’re gone forever!
(yes this is me talking myself into feeling better)
I’ll be maintaining next to zero in my inbox…and in fact once I have Asana fully up to speed I’ll no longer need gmail as my “task list”.
(which is absolutely insane and anti-productive)
Fire.
Ready.
Aim…
