Taming Email Using Unroll Me

At the end of many of my sessions, clients will ask me a few questions about other disorganized problem areas. The #1 question I get is how to tame email and digital clutter. My answer is ALWAYS unsubscribe, unsubscribe, unsubscribe. 

It's so easy to get bogged down by newsletters, daily deals, and other junk mail...all of which make getting to your important emails harder. I recently moved and signed up for deals through USPS when I changed my address. I got great 10, 15 and even 20% off coupons from some of my favorite home decor sites (I'm looking at you, West Elm)! While I was happy to get the discounts initially, I soon found myself drowning in email. Within two weeks, my normally nicely organized inbox became stressful and overwhelming. 

Allow me to introduce Unroll.Me. It has quickly become one of my favorite tools for taming digital clutter. It's a two-step process that works wonders for your daily email haul. The first step is unsubscribing from all unwanted email newsletters. Unroll.Me makes it far easier than hunting down the "unsubscribe here" button on each and every newsletter. The Rollup is a genius feature included in the free service that combines each subscription you've decided to continue receiving into one daily email. 

Taking a few minutes to unsubscribe from persistent advertising emails will save you more time than you realize, and will give you peace of mind that what's in your inbox truly needs your attention.
