Here’s my little confession. Because confession is good for the soul right? At times I have this slight bit of dread when it comes to opening up my Gmail. You see I grew up using Outlook with all of it’s nice little ways to create endless folders. And this Outlooker was a bit lost when I first made the transition into the Gmail world. What causes my dread is the heaps of newsletter subscriptions, I have managed to accumulate over the years. It feels like no matter how much I try I can’t seem to get to inbox zero. And then I recently discovered this little jewel called Unroll.me.
Unroll.me is gives you a list of all of the many lists you have subscribed to (even the long-lost ones you may have forgotten) and gives you the ability to unsubscribe in a massive wave, if you so choose. And for those that you would like to keep, you can roll them all up into one single email delivered to your inbox daily.
Speaking of organization I like this little tip for remembering the important dates and there is even a free printable.

The beauty of this thing called blogging is that we each have the opportunity to share our unique voice and I love to see when other’s are not afraid to use their voice to explore the uncomfortable dichotomies. Alia Joy’s post is one that stirs up quite a conversation on her blog.
As a book lover, I don’t have to be coerced into reading a good book but Read With Those Who Read challenged me to read for other reasons other than just the joy of reading or finding new information.
Most people find comfort in the pages of a book from time to time, but what would happen if we started thinking of reading as a way to comfort someone else? –Lois Flowers

Thanks for the tip about unroll.me! Just signed up and can’t wait to see how it will help my inbox. Mine has gotten completely out of control, too, and is overwhelming me.
You’re welcome Kathryn. I hope you find it helpful. I tried various ways of getting a handle on my email and I’m liking unroll.me so far.
Loved the advice on how to *un-enroll* in all those pesky online subscriptions. Now if we could just figure out how to get rid of all the other annoying stuff on the internet!
I am also glad for the blogging community. Real women, real friendships, real faith. It’s the best thing I’ve ever been involved in. Thanks, Wanda, for alway sharing your heart, and for writing honestly. I appreciate it. You are always an encouragement to me.
Have a great weekend!
GOD BLESS!
Hi Sharon, as with most things the Internet has it pluses and minus. Blogging has certainly been a plus for me even if it’s partly the blame for my compulsion to subscribe to the ever increasing list of newsletters…lol. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
I always enjoy the post you share & so I thank you for your finds. I just poured a 3rd cup of coffee & will now spend some time reading. Blessings on your weekend, Wanda!
Always an honor to have you spend a little part of your Saturday mornings here Joanne. Have a wonderful weekend dear.
Thanks for the great post & for hosting & God bless!
Glad to have you join in this week Laurie. Hope your week is a great one.
Thanks, Wanda! May you have a blessed week in Him also!

I had to buy extra space for my gmail inbox. It was just too hard trying to delete!!! Never heard of unroll me, will check it out! Thanks for sharing! :^) patsy
Patsy, I didn’t even know buying more space for gmail was possible. But I do understand that feeling of I just might need that email. That’s one I have gone to using archive quite bit for all those emails I can’t stand to part with but I don’t want to have cluttered up my daily inbox. It’s improved but I still have a little ways to go.
Hi Wanda! I tell you, if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t know what was going on these days. What a great idea to have a list of all the mail lists I’m on! I get a lot of promotional emails, and I wonder how the heck I got on those lists. Maybe I did sign up for them!
I’m all for making my life simpler. Thank you for helping me 🙂

Ha glad to know I’m good for something Ceil 🙂 It can certainly help you weed out your inbox.
Since I’m reading the Friday reads on Monday, I think I should start with the one on managing my life. lol! Thanks, Wanda! Have a peaceful week.
Lol…well LaVonne you’re only reading on Monday but I haven’t posted since since Friday. I always tell myself that I will do better with my posting schedule and then the days seem to get away from me. I used to be a better blogger it seems.
I could totally use this. I think I tried it once, but it didn’t work the way I thought it would. So, I shall try again!
For me it took it a little while to catch all of the mail I decided to roll up into one email. I still need to do more but it’s a start on getting some sanity back to my inbox.
