Here’s what I know about the weeks leading up to the end of the year. Our inboxes are overflowing, messages are getting buried, and we’re reaching the point where we’d rather delete absolutely everything for a clean slate than attempt to save the few things we’d like to come back to.
I say– do it!
The last thing I want is for these daily delights to be adding to your digital overwhelm. And, if you haven’t been opening them daily, they’re probably piling up.
So go ahead and delete them. Delete them all. (Except for this one.)
Today, my gift to you is a complete recap of the 13 previous days, all in one place, so you can still come back to them (if you want1) without having a dozen extra emails in the queue.
Previously, on Days of Delights…
