E-Mail Cleansing

If you've ever seen my apartment or my desk at work, or if you've listened to me tell a story, you know I'm a little on the cluttery side.

The same disorganization is evident in all my email accounts, of which I have five. But by far the busiest is my work account.

I've probably sent about 4,000 emails since June 29, but once every couple weeks I'd go into that SENT folder and search a particular key word so I could delete 200 or so at a time.

But today I figured I'd go ahead and open up some room in the old Outlook, so I higlighted (gulp) all 2,276 and clicked on that big, black X. It was a very courageous move, so congratulations to me.
