,

I’ve been trying to declutter email a little bit each evening.  Here are the numbers since the last report.

contacts removed: 17 + 2 = 19

emails removed:  78 + 308 + 78 + 391 + 195 = 1050

files removed:  4

account removed from devices:  2

Removed this week:  1075

GRAND TOTAL REMOVED:  1241 items!!

Daily summary:
1/17 closed an old email account and removed it from 2 devices, removed 78 emails

1/18 declutter dropbox account – removed 4 files, declutter email account for dropbox – remove 308 emails

1/20 continue contact decluttering – 17 contacts removed and 78 emails removed. (weird, it was 78 a couple of days ago!)

1/21 different email account contacts decluttered – 2 contacts removed and 391 emails removed (working from oldest to newest, currently at Jan 2015)

1/22 finished email decluttering of one account – 195 emails removed

NEXT UP – declutter my primary email account, why do I have so many different email accounts????

    Wonderful work, btw!

      Yep, all personal. I can count 6 at this point. Maybe more. I really need to decrease them!

    I found myself in this situation – with about three “main” email accounts and a couple of others I used sporadically. It took so long to get everything (logins mainly) over to one account, but it has been SO worth it. One inbox to deal with. Like you I don’t know how I got there, but it’s great when you close them all off and simplify everything!

      It’s nice to know I’m not alone. Can’t wait to get it simplified! Thank you for reassuring me that the “torture” is worth it!
