Boring time…

Last night, I was up until around 4am, sorting through the last 15 years or so of my GMail, over 3600 emails all mixed together…

I found about 2100 of those emails were spam, reported and deleted of course. Then I spent the time to categorize the remaining valid ~1500 emails into sorted categories, mostly sorted by the site it pertains to.

It took over 4 hours…

Fun fun right? But I got it done!

    That sounds terrible. How much of the kept email was actually valuable stuff you couldn’t replace?

      If I had to guess, only around 15% or so of that.

      I haven’t even gone that thoroughly through the boiled down emails just yet, I’ve just got them sorted out so far.

      The other ~85% or so is along the lines of shit like 2 factor authentication, holiday deals, terms of service updates, blah, but are legit emails…
