unsubscribe from all those e-newsletters I receive

Sometimes this feels never ending.

I have just three more that I haven’t unsubscribed to yet. I need to remember my yahoo password to get off the lists from yahoo groups. I don’t even remember my yahoo log in! Its saved on my old computer, I just have to do it!

I saw this goal on energy’s list. It’s fantastic! Each week I get so many blah blah emails and it’s time to stop them, instead of just deleting them.

Noticing a difference already : )

All the daily ones are gone!
I’m keeping this open for a month so I don’t forget any of the less frequent ones.

It really is nice not having all that extra rubbish in my inbox I’m never going to read anyway – one disadvantage is that it’s exposed how much unsolicited spam I’m getting, haha.

This is going to take a lot longer than I thought. Some are nice, one-click, see ya unsubscriptions. Others require hoops and accounts and passwords and pacts signed in blood. Then when I unsubscribe, I get more emails telling me I did so.

I wish I could just ditch that account, but I have too many things I need linked to it. Darn modern age!

Since I’ve been getting emails telling me about cheap travel out of London (three years since I was last there) and catalog offers from tack shops (four years after I last touched a horse), I’ve decided to unsubscribe to every irrelevant newsletter cluttering my inbox. I use a different address for friends, otherwise I lose their messages in the chaos.

This may take a while but I intend to sieze back my yahoo account! Hooah!

I did this a few weeks ago, and it’s amazing how much time I save without my Gmail notifier pinging every five seconds. Be ruthless. Face it, you don’t read most of them anyway, do you?
