HELP! I'm drowning….

In email offers, that is. It happens to me before I know it. I have to know the latest Groupon deal. And, of course, the Williams Sonoma sale is important. I'm sure they have something I need. I'll just let it sit in my inbox until I check out my pantry...

OH WAIT! Another Groupon. Now Bloomie's has a one day special. Those 3 carat diamond studs I've always dreamed of? ONE DAY SPECIAL at Ross Simons!!!! They're flowing in faster than catalogs at Chistmas. Now the inbox is over its limit. How did this happen AGAIN????
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH……………

Step away from the 'SAVE' button! Take a deep breath. Now
hit DELETE. DELETE. DELETE.

It's discipline I need to acquire. Get an offer. Read it. Act on it (or don't) and then delete it and move on. Because by now I should have learned that there is always another offer. Another deal. This one may not last but there will be others. if I don't need it right now, let it go. Besides, they're only good today and today only, right?

DELETE...and breathe…..
