Some companies are worse about newsletters than others. Bath & Body Works sends me at least one e-mail every single day. They have sales regularly, send coupons regularly and I do want to know about them, but sheeze, that's kind of excessive.  |
Yeah, I am familiar with the tools that Google provides to help a person manage his/her email.
Here's my problem (well, one of them
). There are things that I could do to greatly simply my life, but I can't bring myself to spend the time at the beginning in order to get them set up. Yeah, I need to break myself from that--it's costing me too much time in my life, and increasing the angst.
I wish that there was a feature in Gmail to automatically delete any messages in Chinese. For some reason, about half of all of the spam that I get in both of my two accounts are in Chinese which, of course, I can't read.
I can tell that you a person who has all of her ducks in a row in life.
