I probably get 10 to 20 emails a day if I had to guess?<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Step one for anyone reading: unsubscribe from all of the marketing and newsletter emails you receive on a daily basis. <a href=\"https:\/\/unroll.me\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\">Unroll.me<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is a great app to expedite this process. You can also search your email inbox for specific senders and bulk delete after unsubscribing. At this point, I only subscribe to one or two newsletters and I think the only retail site I get marketing emails from is MUJI.\u00a0I used to get emails from other sites, but realized that was only encouraging me to shop and browse when there were better ways to use my time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">I think of my email inbox as my \u201caction\u201d items. It\u2019s not meant to be a file box for everything else. Once an email thread is complete, I delete it. If there is information I will need to reference later, I capture that bit and store it in my Google Drive. For \u201cpending\u201d items, I keep a few folders such as \u201cMinima Team Communication\u201d, \u201cHome Projects\u201d, \u201cUpcoming Travel\u201d, and \u201cOnline Orders\u201d. These folders get cleaned out periodically (I have a recurring task on my Google Calendar to remind me).<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.minimaonline.com\/journal\/these-two-productivity-tips-stopped-my-procrastination\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\">My Google Calendar<\/span><\/a>, Google Drive, and Gmail all work together to keep things organized. Most recently, I\u2019ve implemented recurring tasks in Google Calendar for things like decluttering my digital space, washing bed linens, watering plants, grooming our pet bunnies, or filing quarterly taxes. Doing so has freed up my mind for other things. I keep the Google Calendar tab open on my iMac at all times for quick reference (I work from home).<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boomeranggmail.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\">Boomerang for Gmail<\/span><\/a>\u00a0app is my inbox zero secret weapon (also available for Outlook, iOS, and Android). If an email doesn\u2019t need to be acted upon that same day, I \u201cBoomerang\u201d it to leave my inbox and come back whenever\u00a0I plan to act on it. This way, only my immediate action items are in my inbox. When those are complete, I have inbox zero!<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong><em>What\u2019re one or two things anyone could do to be more digitally minimal. Like where would you start? A small step?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">As with physical clutter, start\u00a0with deleting rather than trying to organize it all. Instead of scrolling through social media next time you feel a twinge of boredom, scroll through your recent photos or emails and delete (it\u2019ll probably feel more satisfying too).<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">For some, taking fewer photos moving forward may be beneficial. We often have the desire or impulse to capture a moment of joy or beauty, and having smartphones makes this easy. However, over-focusing on preserving a memory can take us out of the present moment and lessen the experience<em>.<\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><strong><em>How do you think Digital Minimalism relates to Home Minimalism? And I do find it ironic or even hypocritical that I don\u2019t think we should hang on to physical items that don\u2019t serve us but I struggle to do the same with digital things&#8230; it\u2019s like they aren\u2019t real to me.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">For me, it\u2019s the same drive to feel free and live in the present moment. Just like physical minimalism, digital minimalism requires work, but as you and I both know, the work put in to simplify pays us back in dividends. My mind feels free, my spirit feels lighter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">It can be easy to ignore or deprioritize digital clutter because we aren\u2019t literally tripping over it. You and I both get regular requests to share tips for minimizing our digital space, so it\u2019s clearly something that weighs on people\u2014and it\u2019s not a problem that\u2019s going to go away any time soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think it\u2019s amazing you aim for inbox zero!
