    About this audiobook

    A modern, no-nonsense guide to getting rid of email anxiety, reclaiming your productivity, and spending more time on the work that matters.

    Let's face it: Email is killing our productivity. The average person checks their email 11 times per hour, processes 122 messages a day, and spends 28 percent of their total workweek managing their inbox. What was once a powerful and essential tool for doing our daily work has become a near-constant source of frustration, anxiety, and distraction from our work.

    Unsubscribe will show you how to tame your inbox and reclaim your focus, with tips on how to:

    • Break free from email addiction and the "inbox zero" obsession
    • Build a daily email routine that reduces stress and anxiety
    • Process your inbox based on what (and who) really matters to you
    • Write messages that get people to pay attention and take action
    • Set boundaries and say "no" to time-wasting distractions
    • Plan your day around meaningful work -- not busywork
    Productivity isn't about just "keeping busy," it's about leaving a legacy. Are you ready to Unsubscribe?

    • 5/5
      Excellent book about how to best manage emails and other insightful advice as a bonus
    • 5/5
      Excellent guide to email management. Starts with how to "Unsubscribe" from all the clutter, but goes much deeper into how to manage your email, rather than the other way around.
