Week 39 | Email Lists | 52 Weeks To Downsize & Minimalize

Email Lists

Are marketing emails and newsletters tormenting your inbox? Deleting them is only a temporary solution until the next one arrives, so it’s time to get removed from these email lists for good.

How to Downsize the Email Lists You’re On

Go to your inbox right now. Find email you no longer want to receive, then scroll to the bottom of the email. Click the “unsubscribe” link and follow any necessary steps to be removed. Emails should stop immediately from the source that they came from.

By law, companies must include an unsubscribe link at the bottom of marketing email. If they do not, go to the company’s website and follow procedures to unsubscribe. Also, you could contact the customer service department by phone if an easy way to unsubscribe through the website is not available, or report them as spam.

Week 35 | Vases | 52 Weeks to Downsize & Minimalize

Vases

Calling all collectors of vases large and small! Can you count on one or both hands how many you have and actually USE? Do you need more hands? Ya, we thought so.

Flowers are pretty!

Are you putting the vases you own to good use around the house? If not, take them out of their hiding places, stand them up together on a table and choose which can stay and which must go. Next, fill the ones you keep with the beauty and nature they are meant to behold!

Vases can be like coffee mugs… they can be hard to part from! But if you have too many, you’re wasting space that could be better used for other items!
