Do you have a nagging feeling there is always some email hiding in your in-box that requires your attention? Maybe even your urgent attention?

I have the antidote for that problem: just empty your in-box!

This may sound like a virtual way of sweeping everything under the mat, but it works wonders. I just did it myself. Put everything in the archive. Just like that.

My dear in-box looks so fresh and clear. Almost innocent. And I must say I feel the same. Fresh and clear that is, not so innocent.

Funny how a clean in-box should affect my mind. Feels like I have just come home form a 7-day cleanse.

Further, I have also canceled most news letters -except www.thewayofthehappywoman.com and www.pilates.co.th of course. I never got around to read the others anyway. They were just using up space in my in-box –and in my mind.

How many of the newsletters you get do you get around to read, really?

Now I can easily see what emails require my attention, as there are only unread ones there. I answer emails directly if needed, otherwise they go straight to the archive or in the bin, leaving the in-box nice and clean.

This way it is more inspiring to deal with emails directly, as the result is a clean in-box – and a clean mind.

This move was inspired by www.zenhabits.com where you can find more great ideas of how to live a decluttered life.

Try if for yourself, how a little in-box saucha (purity) can do wonders.
