New Year to do: Unsubscribe from Email Lists

Someone once told me they unsubscribe from all email lists at the beginning of the year (except the ones they actually like to get!) and the idea stuck with me; I've done this for a couple/three years now and getting rid of so much junk - at least for a while - is so great for me since I tend to let them accumulate and suddenly end up with hundreds of unread emails which gives me such anxiety!! You will inevitably be added back to lists as you shop and browse online, but it takes awhile to build them back up and is totally worth spending a few minutes unsubscribing from the unwanted ones. 


Just go to the bottom of each email you get from random stores and other sites, you should see an unsubscribe link - click it, usually it takes you to another screen that either says you've successfully unsubscribed or will ask you to confirm how you want to manage the email from that company (opt out of all, or change how often you receive...). Ahhhhhh goodbye to a bunch of emails that I never signed up for or wanted in the first place!


There are websites that help you manage your email subscriptions if you want to go that route, I don't find it too time-consuming to just individually opt out of the ones I don't want.
