Last Straw

I recently cleared my email inbox at work and put meas­ures in place to keep it that way. It took a couple of solid days hard graft to make sure things were prop­erly filed or oth­er­wise taken care of.

Now I’m giv­ing my per­sonal email the same treat­ment. The prob­lem here is that I’m deal­ing not with thou­sands of emails but tens of thou­sands, going back years.

So rather than go through every single email I’m declar­ing email bank­ruptcy, archiv­ing the lot — read or not — and start­ing afresh! I’ve also removed myself from a myriad of email sub­scrip­tions accu­mu­lated over the years.

Upshot is you should find me a lot more respons­ive to email from now on. If you’ve sent me any­thing import­ant in the past month (or year!) and I haven’t respon­ded please accept my pro­fuse apo­lo­gies and resend it. I’ll respond as soon as I can, from my new found state of email nir­vana.
