I just spent the last two hours unsubbing from mailing lists and deleting emails!
I needed 201 items; discarded 2,784 emails, so I'm counting that as meeting my goal for the year.
I think I'll start a digital decluttering thread as I still have 12,000 unread and 17,000 total emails going back to 2016
