Why I’ve Unsubscribed from Emails

Ladies and Gentlemen: the above is a photo of my inbox.

A familiar sight for some, a frightful sight for many.

Why so many emails Thomas?

As Gary Vaynerchuk puts it: ‘Marketers ruin everything’

Every site we now go to asks us for an email to sign up to ‘MY FREE EBOOK’ or ‘WEEKLY UPDATES’ et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

Needless to say I didn’t open 90% of these emails.

I always checked my inbox, but only opened the things relevant to me- such as personal emails or receipts for something I bought.

Recently I unsubscribed from nearly every blog, website, app or software company that floods my inbox.

Seth Godin, Elliott Hulse, Twitter, Ryan Stewman, My local college, Tai Lopez- everything.

And boy has life been easier ever since. I don’t here a bing sound everywhere I go. I can concentrate on more important things, and not spend half my time distracted by something I don’t even respond to.

I’d call it a productivity hack, but I’m just being logical about things.

Eliminate distractions and focus in on what’s important. That is what gets results.
