Subscribed to 47 Newsletters. Read Maybe 3. Inbox Was a Graveyard. 🫢
Started subscribing to newsletters. Productivity tips. Parenting advice. Recipe roundups. Industry news. Local events.
Good intentions. Terrible execution.
THE NEWSLETTER GRAVEYARD
47 active subscriptions. Average 4 emails per week each. That's 188 emails weekly I was ignoring.
"I'll read it later." Later never came. Just guilt scrolling past unread stacks.
Occasionally something important buried in there. School fundraiser deadline. Recipe I actually wanted. Missed both because they drowned in the pile.
Tried unsubscribing. Got through 12. Gave up. Life happened.
THE CURATOR I BUILT
All newsletters route to a separate folder. Workflow processes them daily.
Extracts the actual content. Summarizes key points. Categorizes by topic.
Daily digest: One email with summaries from everything. Organized by category. Links to full versions if I want more.
Flags action items. Deadlines. Events. Things that need response.
The rest? Summarized and archived. There if I need it. Not cluttering my inbox.
THE INBOX SANITY
Before: 188 weekly emails ignored, important things missed, constant guilt.
After: One daily digest, action items highlighted, actually read the summaries.
Discovered I only care about 8 of the 47 newsletters. Unsubscribed from the rest guilt-free because I could see I never clicked through to full articles.
Those 8? I actually read now because they're not buried.
Found out about a community event I would have missed. Was buried in a newsletter I hadn't opened in 3 weeks.
The summarization isn't perfect on heavily formatted newsletters. Image-heavy ones lose context. But captures text-based content well.
Inbox feels manageable again.
What newsletters are you subscribed to that you never actually read?
