I started writing this post with OMG, this is incredible. And while it is all that and more. The example speaks for itself.

De-clutter Your Inbox
Talk about clutter; phew, did I have it or what? I’m not talking about household clutter…I’m so busy working on my business I didn’t realize how much the clutter was wearing me down. I just wasn’t productive. I’d look around my desk and see all the receipts, emails, filing and well you know the drill…you never end up getting anything done…
In the past 72 hours I balanced my paypal, alertpay, business checking, and my personal checking…In addition, I deleted over 2,000 emails from my inbox(es). If you’re like me you have several emails.
I am even in the process of deleting some of the email accounts that I have; after all how many do I really need?
1 for personal emails
1 for my autoresponder
1 for my store/support
1 catchall for all the social networks I belong to
Trust me I had way more than that!
So I took a gander and hit delete to clean up…yes I deleted every single email in all of those accounts; except for one and I’m in the process of deleting those too. I had folders for everything; I deleted those too. Geez, who has time to read all that crap?
Now when I receive notification about my alertpay or my paypal; I immediately put it in my Quick Books. When I receive an email from one of my favorite “gurus” I read and hit delete. IF I feel that I need to save it; I will in a folder called Checking This Out…if I don’t get around to it in a week…then I hit delete!
I am now free to be more productive…I challenge you today; clean out your inbox, balance your checkbooks, throw away unwanted clutter in your office…
Let me know how it goes for ya by posting a comment below. I’d love to hear how you feel after you de-clutter.
