apple-mail.jpgYou've seen those email signatures before. The ones that read, "before printing, please think about the environment." All that fun green stuff that was the cool thing to do before the recession.

Here is a picture:

Before printing, please think about the environment

What bugs me is when people send me useless emails that I wouldn't consider printing, yet alone storing on my hard drive and clogging up my inbox.

Honestly, I want to use a signature that says something like:

Before emailing, please think about my inbox

I make decisions with email, they are:

  1. Is it spam? If yes, hit spam button. If no, continue to step 2.
  2. Do I need to reply, really need to reply? Yes or no, and continue to step 3.
  3. Do I need to save a record of the email? If no, hit delete. If yes, continue to step 4.
  4. Decide which of my folders to store the email in.

This is all part of my email OCD issues.

Too bad comments aren't open, I am sure I would get a few.
