You guys. I have the coolest thing ever to share! I’m super excited because I’m assuming at least half of you type B-ish people like myself are secretly suffering from inbox embarrassment. Yes, I too once had 70,000 unread emails. 70,000. Yup. 4 zeros. :-/ But, in under 30 minutes I took it to a zero inbox. Not only did I do that, but I set parameters in place that will help keep me there for years to come. Did I peak your interest? Trust me, you can be zero inbox person too. Keep reading and I’ll show you how.
It all started when I heard of a service called Unroll.Me. At the time I was absolutely drowning in a sea of digital clutter and felt so overwhelmed by my inbox. I would spend hours some weeks trying to go one by one or even mass delete emails only to have tons pop back up and not have the time to go through it and unsubscribe from each one. Unroll.Me takes care of those issues for you. With literally one click you can unsubscribe from an email. Signing up is simple and takes less than a minute.
From there you can select with one click to unsubscribe. Even better? With another single click you can have a certain email sent into what’s called The Rollup so instead of getting 20 emails a day from different shops you can just get one email a day containing ALL of the different shop’s emails.
Please don’t make fun of me you guys, but I was subscribed to over 650 different emails. I know. How is that possible?
Using Unroll.Me I unsubscribed from about 400 of them and put another hundred or so into the Rollup in under 10 minutes. It’s absolutely magical! Look at the happy message it gives you!
And now my inbox is at zero. Literally zero. After I used the Unroll.Me service I felt really motivated to clean up the rest of my emails, so I massed deleted a bunch and decided to start over. It is so freeing! To make things even more simple, they have a brand-new app that launched today to make cleaning your inbox on the go easier than ever! Check it out here.
With the spare time I have now that I’m not digging in my digital box of shame, I’ve decided to start training for a 5K. I finally got to use my new workout stuff I got months ago!
I used to run a pretty good amount until I had surgery. I met with my surgeon for a post-op this week and was just cleared to start working out again. Yay! So I found a couch to 5K program online and have started following it. Slowly but surely getting back into my groove. 🙂
How about you guys? If you had no emails to look at or information to dig through what would you do with your spare time?

Wow, that’s a lot of emails! Unroll.Me is saving me time too! It’s great! Love that you are able to get back out there and train for a 5k! You go girl! 🙂 #client

Those e-mails will forever haunt me. If I had free time I’d work on my projects which is the reason I started blogging in the first place. Goin back to the roots!!
I found Unroll.Me in a Southwest magazine a few years back and thought I’d give it a try, you are right! I don’t even worry about adding new email subscriptions because I can just browse through them all in the evening when my Rollup comes and instead of tons of emails all day, it’s just one! Love it.
This is perfect! Pinned and tweeted. We appreciate you taking the time to party with us! I hope to see you on Monday at 7 pm, so we get to see your fabulous new creations. The party goes until Friday at 7 pm. Happy Saturday! Lou Lou Girls
Never thought about using a program to manage my emails. I spend soooo much time every day on deleting emails. Thanks for sharing at Funtastic Friday. Pinned to my blogging 101 group board.
I SO needed to read this post. My inbox is overwhelming, especially with all of the subscriptions I have. I am definitely going to check out this service. I can see it being such a boon in getting things done and ensuring I don’t miss the emails that require immediate attention.
Thanks so much for sharing this. Glad I found you at the LouLou Girls Fabulous Party. All the best.
I used to be able to keep up with my emails, but now for some reason I have lost control! I easily have 200 a day….I have heard of this app, but didn’t know it would allow to group emails to together like that! Thanks for sharing 🙂
WHAT????!!! I’m so excited to check this out! My inbox is like an episode of Hoarders email style. It’s a big mess. Thanks so much for sharing this. 🙂
Visiting from a blog hop I think Funtastic Friday but can’t be sure. LOL
Hi there, Tania! It’s so funny that you covered Unroll Me! I randomly came across it a few months ago and I was so excited to get it set up. But, then they asked me for my email password and I could not, for the life of me, remember what it was. My devices automatically log me in, so apparently convenience ended up making me incompetent!
I meant to go back and reset my password, but my easily distracted/highly forgetful self never went back to complete setting it up. Ugh.
I’m so happy I noticed your post over at The Pin Junkie ink up. It has reminded me to go back and finally finish what I started and declutter my ridiculous and overwhelming inbox!
BTW, those SHOES!!! I love the animal print on the swoosh! Gaaah, so cute! And you go girl, for training for a 5k.
What a neat service! My emails have gotten crazy the past two weeks and this would have been perfect to use!
Emily, it has been super helpful! Totally recommend! 🙂
I need to tell my hubs about this – his inbox is RIDICULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha I wonder if it’s as ridiculous as mine was? :O

Thanks Cathy! And yes…it was definitely a lot of emails. My training is going great! 🙂
Thanks Tania! I sooooo needed this today. I’m struggling and am afraid to even open my inbox because it stresses me out! I am signing up now!
Kiristy, I totally know how you feel. I was scared too!! But I hope you are experiencing freedom now! 🙂
Those e-mails will forever haunt me. If I had free time I’d work on my projects which is the reason I started blogging in the first place. Goin back to the roots!!
Mary, i know right?? It’s crazy how much digital clutter can trip us up! Projects are WAY more fun than email sorting!

That’s awesome Kati! I think the roll up is my favorite thing ever!
This sounds like a great tool! I need to give it a try 🙂 thanks for sharing this tip!
