When you “Subscribe”
do you consider what you are
allowing into you inbox?
Maybe it is something
helpful,
useful,
informational.
Maybe you do want to know about
the sale,
the opportunity,
the insight.
More often (people tell me),
when you give up your inbox information,
you really signed on
for
more noise,
more clutter,
more distraction.
You gave the sender permission to
barrage you,
hound you,
bug you.
I’ve begun to think of my inbox
like my mind.
I consider carefully what I let in.
(Thank you for letting me into your inbox.
I take seriously the trust you have given me.
I try not to contribute to the noise.
