Friday Declutter Challenge - email!

Today we're decluttering email.

I'm going to give you just one tip today - make decisions. Don't just read your email and close it again without making a decision as to what to do.

Here are some previous posts that deal with email:

• An empty inbox is like...
• Anne's post on dealing with her e-clutter
• 5 ways I deal with email

This week, your challenge is to

1. find out your email comfort number
2. declutter your inbox until you're there
3. build in daily maintenance time to keep to that number

Share in the comments how many you decluttered!

Next week (27th) we're decluttering documents & computer folders

If your email is out of control, Conquer your email will get your email organised and under control. Someone went from about 3000 mails to less than 100 in just days.

This is a comprehensive handout plus an hour-long audio. I teach you every single secret and tip that I use to help me manage my email in only 15 minutes a day.

Tomorrow we're decluttering...

An empty inbox is like an uncluttered home

This is a picture of what my inbox usually looks like. Because I'm being completely open and honest with your, right at the moment, I have 6 in my inbox.

It makes me smile ;) to see that lovely uncluttered space.

There are probably about 5 - 7 habits I have that helps to keep my inbox empty.

I'll share one of the ways with you:

Every day I play a game with myself to see how many emails I can delete.

When you turn things into a game, it becomes fun and not a chore.

My aim is to delete 50 items daily. If I don't have that many after clearing my inbox, I go to my Sent Items to clear out!

Once you get used to seeing that uncluttered goodness, it's hard to go back to a full inbox. I know I can't. I almost start twitching when I see about 20 :)

So for the next week, let's have some FUN and see how many emails you can delete daily.

What are your inbox tips?
