I’m going to take a guess that most of us can relate to this topic. Having unread emails in our inbox. Maybe you have multiple email accounts with a bunch of unread messages. I have a handful of different accounts for different parts of my life, and right now the number of unread messages, in total, is staggering! Last year, I asked listeners to tell me how many unread emails they have. I heard a variety of responses, most all of them were in the thousands. As of right now, I have 35,771 unread e-mails in my inbox.
I recall one listener told me she had 103,000 unread emails. Another listener said she felt anxiety over her 291 new messages. How does this compare to you? Do you keep a squeaky clean inbox? If so, I’m jealous.

Ok so it’s not officially summer yet. But it’s been warm enough for me to kick on the air conditioning in the car. Do you know how to use your car’s A/C system properly? Most vehicles have a recirculation button as part of their A/C controls, but many people aren’t sure when to use it. […]
