Every morning I log into my personal e-mail and have about 25 messages waiting for me. All but about 3 of them are daily broadcasts that I have signed up to receive. Lately I have discovered that I don't really read a lot of them and so I have started unsubscribing from a few.
My real job is dealing with computers and so I have about 10 different e-mails I get on a daily basis related to information technology. About 5 of those are duplicates and so I unsubscribed from half. The other half I find myself gleaming some level of information at least weekly and will continue to sift through them. There are one or two other daily e-mails from places where I purchased goods and so I have opted to be removed from their daily flood of specials.
The interesting thing to me is what I have decided to keep. One of my favorite daily e-mails is from Steep and Cheap. If you are into camping, hiking, skiing, climbing, and just generally hanging around outside, you should sign up for their daily e-mail. They have incredible deals on outdoor equipment and I have managed to get some great skis for a very low price. Furthermore, the guy that writes the daily e-mail is incredibly funny and worth two minutes of my day.
There are the usual messages related to scouting, ham radio, and skiing. Sometimes they are important and other times I delete them without even reading the messages. As I only have a limited time to spend reading e-mail, the fewer messages I get, the more time I have to devote to the e-mails I do read.
