clean out my email

This cleaning may take me a month to do. Why? Because I want to get it done. It’s not just about organizing; it’s really about giving stuff up. This is trickier than it sounds. It’s the same trick I need to perform to thin out My Paper Collection. Rather than tickle everything and decide not to throw it out because I think I’ll need it for something I’m never going to do, I’m actually going to throw out the email I’ve accumulated and sort out what remains. I’m giving myself a full month to get this done with the expectation that if I do a little bit every day for 31 days, I’ll add this “thing” to the “I’ve done this” pile.”
