Decluttering Is Like an Onion–It Grows Back
I’ve used the webmail of a certain very large website as my primary email for years. Recently I lost patience at last with my glitchy inbox, and switched to another email address as my primary. Let me tell you, it’s been rough. How was I to know I had so many things linked to that one address? I’d done the linking one thing at a time, over the last eight years or so. My social networking sites, my forums, my send-me-a-recipe-a-day-that-I’ll-never-make memberships. Even my 750words.com account–and I can’t change that. I’d have to make a new account, and lose my Albatross badge earned by writing 750 words every single day for going on a hundred days in a row. (Soon I’ll have the phoenix again!) It has been rough, but it’s also been a good thing. I can’t believe how much garbage I was signed up for.
