Declutter Your Email and Breathe a Deep Sigh of Relief

You’re told exactly how many emails you should have in your inbox at any one time, the exact folder system you should follow, and that you should have finished decluttering your inbox yesterday. Reality check please! These unrealistic structures can leave you feeling even more stressed, overwhelmed, and frustrated. 

You want to follow a practical system…but it feels like the course creators don’t “get” you. Their systems and practices feel too complicated, too convoluted, and too puzzling. The whole system feels so clunky and cringe-worthy that you feel like giving up and throwing your laptop against the wall in a fit of fury. 

You need to declutter your inbox. You’re told how to declutter your inbox. You declutter your inbox. That’s the end of story, right? Wrong! Decluttering should never be approached with an “oh-my-goodness-my-email-account-is-about-to-explode attitude” where you take scattershot action, wishing, and hoping for the best in the future. That’s a true recipe for disaster. 

You’ve eagerly worked your way through the course. But when it finally comes to actually doing the work, you’re still overwhelmed and uninspired. Your inbox is still jam-packed full of emails, more messages are coming in every single day, and you’ve got a massive pounding headache. What gives? 

You know you need to declutter your inbox, but you want the freedom and flexibility to declutter your inbox on your terms. You want a say in how many emails you keep in your inbox at any one time, how you store and retrieve information, and how you interact with your inbox.

You want to follow a smart system, but you don’t want one that’s so rigid and restrictive that you have no time to work, play, or sleep. You don’t want to worry about how many messages you decluttered (or not) because you didn’t follow the system to the letter. Who wants to live their life like that? And who’s the boss of your inbox after all? You are!  

You are a unique indvidual. You’ve got unique goals, dreams, and aspirations. And guess what? Your email inbox is 100% unique too! You need to learn how to confidently deal with your inbox so it doesn’t engulf your personal and professional lives.

 Your relationship with email is so-so. What’s more, your relationship to email hasn’t been properly addressed or discussed. The big truth that no one talks about is that you 100% need to repair your sucky relationship with email! Only then can you successfully proceed and keep your inbox clutter-free.  

That shadow of doubt, worry, and concern of how you’re going to free up space in your inbox has finally vanished. You can sit down and work inside your inbox without having the email scaries show up at 9 A.M. on Monday morning. 

Easily locate messages whenever someone asks you for an important piece of information related to that big client project or when you need to locate that exciting invitation to your family’s 10-year reunion near the seaside next summer. 

Imagine having emails sent to your inbox and not feeling a pang of regret or frustration when they come in. There’s no more worry or doubt about how to manage your inbox. You know how to process and declutter emails so they stay neat and tidy. 

You’ve got more than one email inbox. You’ve probably got several, one for work, home, and maybe even a few more! Can you imagine what it would be like to finally have those inboxes under your finger? No more wondering how you’re going to declutter those exploding inboxes…you’ve got everything under control.

Let’s face it: less time sifting through your inbox means more time spent with loved ones. You won’t have to frantically use your phone trying to free up space during your aunt’s 100th birthday party, your kids’ championship soccer game, or when you’re just relaxing on the weekend. 

Gone are those last-minute, middle-of-the-night decluttering blitzes where you hope and pray you’ve decluttered enough emails to keep your inbox under the message limit. You’ll sleep soundly knowing your email inbox is well-in hand. 

 And know that you can get on with your life while those other people wander around wide-eyed, with dark circles under their eyes, stressed being stressed out about their email and on and on.
