Today's mission, unread emails 😭
Let's get it down to 200
@sadcat13 mission accomplished, and yeeted a few old opened emails too as I went along. I can finally do something actually interesting 😂
@jesusredeemedme2425 I so badly need to get back to this thread. My 191 unread emails are calling 😭
Delete 10 today <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 did it. Brought it down to 175. These emails are the bane of my existence 😭
Are you unsubscribing too? That’ll cut it down a TON <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 I actually unsubscribed from a lot of them, currently kept like one? But the pile stayed 😂
Your goal is 10 per day :)
@jesusredeemedme2425 I should really go for it
That’s your goal for the next couple of weeks <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 😭😭😭
??
@jesusredeemedme2425 being incredibly lazy and looking at the 162 unread emails fills me with dread 😂
Ok, after you read this, delete 1. Lemme know when you’re done ;)
@jesusredeemedme2425 doneeeee. 161 to go
Yay! Now one more, plus two photos :)
@jesusredeemedme2425 doneeee. Cleared out like 2-3 mails and deleted unneeded stuff from the photos I took in August so far
Now clear out Face Book friend list :)
@jesusredeemedme2425 ah that's an easy one. I don't really use it. I had it for uni and that's it. So I have like 5 friends I do not talk to lol.
Then pick another equivalent to Face Book hehe
@jesusredeemedme2425 well. I´m not active on social media, especially not publicly 😁 I had one public platform that i ended up privating not too long ago because someone resurfaced who should not do so and wanted to protect myself
Ok, then pivot and go clean out your purse ;)
@jesusredeemedme2425 fair enough 😁
Lemme know when you’re done hehe
@jesusredeemedme2425
With the exception of organising photos into more useful folders, I do not have anything on the list to do...there is some small advantage it would seem to not having any social media and only using a computer that is run on a mix of hamster-wheel and pixie power. *Smiles*
I bet you have emails ;)
@jesusredeemedme2425
Not as many as you might imagine. Maybe 2 or 3 a month, so not very hard to keep on top of. Bills go straight to their own folder, so not much left for me to really prune.
Photos?
@jesusredeemedme2425
Yupyup. I tend to take a lot of them and keep them in one or two large folders (which gets inconvenient when I have more than a few hundred photos). So I really should organise them a bit more frequently, deleting the ones which are no good and condensing the rest into logical folders. I have had a tendency to create folders with too broad a category and then end up putting too many photos into them. e.g creating one for plants, one for animals, one for landscapes, one for people. etc. I need to manage them into more delineated categories...or even date order might be helpful. Problem is, I start looking through them and then get tempted to go and make some more. *grins*
Find 5 to delete. ;)
@jesusredeemedme2425
179 deleted. I aimed for 5, then got really trigger-happy. I was clearing out the trash bin as fast as I was deleting...which on reflection probably wasn't super wise as I think I deleted a few that I wanted to keep. But ah well,...it just creates more room for new ones. Silver linings, Kiara....silver linings to everything. *Smiles*
Whoa!!! That’s a lot! I’m proud of you <3
Now delete 10 photos :)
@jesusredeemedme2425
10 more? hmm, I shall have to see what I truly do not need.
And clean out your contact list while you’re at it ;)
@jesusredeemedme2425
Wow 😲 thanks for idea
@jesusredeemedme2425 finished cleaning the purse 👛 I threw out an entire mountain of receipts and other garbage
Yay!!! You are SUCH an inspiration <3
@jesusredeemedme2425 it takes me only a few days to get going lol
