My daughter sent me an article about removing the red notifications in apps on the iPhone. They were set to “on” for text and phone calls. I didn’t have them notifications turned on for email. Before I turned the motivations back on the number went up another 324 in a day.
I went to settings, toggled the notifications button just to peek and see how many unread emails I had in my two accounts.
Turned off notifications again.
My word of the day is AVOIDANCE. I showed this photo to a couple of people and it’s interesting, the reaction I receive

OMG! I would be so intimidated by 80K emails. I think I would buy a new phone and change my email address. OR…I would unsubscribe to the way too many emails you receive! YIKES!
Wow, I’d be overwhelmed! You might want to start blocking and unsubscribing.
80,000! You must be popular.
Oh, wow. That number, unbelievable.
It’s even worse today.
Talk about information overload! I was interested in the WordPress notifications, of course. So I went to the WordPress Reader and looked at my Notifications settings. According to that, I should be getting lots of email notifications for lots of things, but I chose ‘Never send email’ for reader subscriptions. I’m going to look at all those settings more carefully now!
I need to click the “never send email” box. Will go look now. Thanks Margy. It’s a bit overwhelming
Wowzers. I wonder how many years that goes back?
