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.
