It’s a good idea to use the Unsubscribe button often on e-newsletters to keep clutter from your inbox. You only need to ask yourself one question: “Will it serve me?” Is the content meaningful and useful to you and the goals in your life now? If not, unsubscribe freely!
Does the content of the newsletter appeal to you… for example, a key business initiative or personal goal, an activity or hobbie that you love love love? Or a philosophy, political genre or material that is of high priority in your life? Can you learn from the content? These are all questions about whether this information will serve you right now, today, in your life. Be sure not to fall into the trap of “maybe someday I’ll get into this…”. Don’t worry. When that “some day” comes, the world will give you what you need. There will be a newsletter or website out there just for you.
Also consider the structure and format of the publication. Is it well organized? Is it easy to review and read to determine quickly? Are there links that work? That sort of thing.
Finally, consider the sender. If you met that person at a network event or a party, perhaps they included you on the list only because you know someone who might appreciate it’s value. If that’s the case, then forward it along – that’s great karma. And then.. well, you get the idea… unsubscribe freely!
