Full-Frontal Nudity of the Soul

I Had Too Many Email Newsletter Subscriptions To Read Them All

So many they became like using a January gym membership.

My email inbox recently had 2,219 unread emails. I unsubscribed, for now, most of email newsletter subscriptions. All were quite good, but I’d need another me to read them all. (Screenshot by Donald J. Claxton)

How many unopened email newsletters are in your inbox?

Humor me. Check your email inbox and then comment.

How many unopened email newsletters await your eyeballs?

One day last week, my Mac Mail inbox reached 2,219 unread emails.

Apple’s little red dots and white numbers trigger my OCD something fierce. My obsession to ridding my Macs, iPhone, and iPad gives me “CDO” instead.

CDO is when my OCD reaches the point, I must even put the acronym’s letters in alphabetical order.

There were too many great newsletters for me to be able to read.

My unread emails joined another thousand emails awaiting for me to wade through a digital forest of email newsletter subscriptions, daily updates, and two-factor authentication login messages.

The worst offenders are those who think, because I downloaded a freebie yesterday, I need a seven-day Chinese torture drip of messages.
