Thank God! It’s like a breath of fresh air! Every now and again, my email box gets so cluttered up and I get so behind, that it is just overwhelming! And it has been that way for a few weeks now, and it’s been driving me crazy.
So I just sat down yesterday afternoon and went after them with a vengeance! Do you find this happening to your email box, too?
I am a packrat, by nature, and that carries into my online life, as well. Or, I should say, it carries into my computer life, as well. My documents and my pictures get pretty messed up, too!
So when I get a chance to clean things out and get more on top of things, I feel so much better!
One thing that I have found very difficult, as an entrepeneur, is staying organized. I am always getting to where my desk is a mess or my office is a mess or my computer stuff is a mess. And I also often bite off more than I can chew work-wise, because, it all just sounds so good or inspiring or like it’s just going to be a great money-maker.
So that is definitely one of the challenges that I face as a work-at-home-mom, or entrepreneur. I find myself in a ‘mess’ way more often than I like to think about.
I know staying organized can only benefit me and my business, and my children, too. It benefits my children, because, when I am more organized, my work days are shorter.
I’m going to try to remember how good this feeling of having my emails cleaned out feels - so that I can inspire myself to keep it together!

1I have such a hard time deleting emails. I open them, read them, and if I don’t have a folder to put them in, they just stay there in my inbox open, for like, EVER. I always think I’m going to delete some crucial piece of information.

2OMG, Elizabeth - exactly!!!! I’m so afraid that I’m going to delete something that I absolutely need, or something that if I go back and read it …it’s just going to make my online endeavors skyrocket to the moon! Ha!
And then, one time, when I had an email account through my ISP, and didn’t have enough to pay the bill, so I had to stop having internet for a while - I lost all of those emails! I thought I was going to suffocate. Then - as the days went on, I realized that I was just totally fine without those emails! LOL! It was just earth-shattering at first, though!
