Final summary
- [Narrator] You've just listened to our blinks to Unsubscribe by Jocelyn K. Glei. The key message in this book is that the days of wasting time on meaningless email messages are over. It's time to reclaim your inbox and take control of your daily work life. With a few simple changes and some new habits, you can prioritize your life so that you're spending your time on what matters most. How can you apply the ideas of these blinks to your life? Use VIP notifications. Generally you're better off if you don't check your mailbox more than twice a day, but there are always some people you don't want to make wait. Your boss, for instance, or your most important client. In such cases, you can compromise and setup your smartphone to notify you whenever a message from one of these VIPs comes in. This way you can still refrain, by and large, from checking your inbox except at the designated times.
