Totally agree about quite time. Access-D is particularly vocal :-). As for subscription emails, I find that life with gmail is quite pleasant, it's very very good at removing spam from my inbox. So even if I don't bother to unsub I can just hit the report spam button and forget about it. Even Outlook is fairly good at ridding me of junk in the corporate environment, but the junk filter only seems effective when using Exchange Server and when the 'used cached Exchange' option is selected.

I still unsub from every valid email from advertisers, immediately upon receipt. If I need to use their company, I know how to get ahold of them. It literally took me about a month to unsub from all of the crap, but I went from hundreds of emails a day to a couple of dozen, and most of them are from clients. I am thinking of subscribing to the "quiet time" idea in the article. I don't have a blackberry, I don't do IMs at all. Email or phone, and all advertising email is unsubbed to on receipt. It has made a tremendous difference in my life. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35689822/ns/business-small_business// -- John W.
