• A bad habit of mine these past 12 months, was neglecting my e-mail more often than not. Tons and tons of e-mail would just pile up, and I honestly was a hard person to get a hold off through e-mail. It was actually much easier to text message me on my cellphone, and probably even more so by commenting here on my blog. Needless to say, my inbox folder had thousands of e-mail that were unread. Admitedly they were mostly junk mail, accept for the ones that involved my family, friends, online transactions, account information, etc... Not wanting to just mass delete the whole thing because I would want to keep the important mail, I had to go through all of them. No, I did not have to read all of them, but by carefully looking at the subject headers I was able to tell if it needed to be kept or deleted imediately. This took me a couple of hours of my time, but it was worth it. It feels good seeing my inbox with less than five e-mails on it right now. Going through some of those old e-mail, I even noticed some surprises from family/friends that I *should* have known already. To think that over a decade ago I was an e-mail junky who loved sending and receiving e-mail every hour. Wow, how things have changed, in that e-mail has gotten so ubiquitous it's now at a point of easy neglect.
