I get way too much email. And I have several email accounts. Most of the email isn’t important, it’s frivolous, such as Facebook notification emails. The problem is, when you get burdened by a slew of emails – especially on Monday morning – the daunting task of going through those emails might put you off. Then you get behind in email, only because you don’t want to go through them. Yeah, I had that problem.
One thing that helped was to opt out of all Facebook notifications, except private messages. Facebook doesn’t make it easy, there is no “opt out of all” button. You need to check off every single type of email notification and there are about fifty or so. Go to Facebook > Account Settings > Notifications.
Don’t worry about missing something. You have a notifications tab on your Facebook top bar (highlighted in white outline). This icon will let you know if you missed anything.
The point is to get your email back. Too many emails will cloud your sense of priority and it is a bit ridiculous. Aside from Facebook, you may also receive other superfluous emails. Opt out! For Pete’s sake!
