On: I deleted all of my email filters

[tennisflyi]

How many emails do you think you could have unsubscribed from while typing your reply? You're going to check your email daily for years to come. Why not cull a few every now and then?

> It also keeps paper trail. If GitHub goes down, or I get fired, I still have most comments and decisions.

You obviously keep/archive the important things...

I actually have to make money. Deleting everything is a bit nihilistic.

And I am not going to unsubscribe from daily status reports on my servers. Those are not "absolutely needed", but it is better to have them locally in my email. Landing all incoming emails into inbox just does not scale!

I was getting at culling surplus/extraneous things you had subscribed to, but if all 500 emails are needed, you do you (and make that money with a heavy cognitive load!)

[throeurir → tennisflyi]

But it is not heavy cognitive load. Thanks to filters and automation...

I get like 20 emails daily that get through filters, land in my inbox and need my urgent attention. I can not imagine being directly exposed to unfiltered stream of junk, and trying to fish out emails from my boss.

[tennisflyi]

Absolutely. That's been my MO for years. Inbox zero across multiple different emails. It makes things really easy

I don't know how you guys do it. I have extensive filters, but I still get dozens of low priority emails every day. Stuff I should actually deal with but just generally don't care quite enough to on most days.

Smaller YouTubers can do pretty well, i.e., a thousand devoted fans (and sponsors), and a year isn’t that long. Most of my follows are smaller YouTubers. Everyone wants to be the Musk of YT and not a “regular Joe” FIRE-guy. Both live pretty nice lives

I can drop a list after work

[ChaseRensberger → tennisflyi]

Totally agree! Our biggest goal, I think, is to just have a good excuse to do fun stuff. I look forward to that list.

I definitely like to use folders and know how to use a printer, copier, or fax machine but rejected ad nauseam for jobs. I guess I should put it in my “skills” section. Being in “stride” appears to be most important part, i.e., straight from college with the experience of maybe working at the cafeteria/book store/whatever to that prestigious job lol

What’s the relation to the post?

[tennisflyi → BriggyDwiggs42]

The bare bone use of computer related peripherals?

You just don’t want to signal you’re a provider. Weird hangup a lot of tech guys have
