I loved your insight here on the childlike nature of checking to see if you got anything cool… I used to LOVE to get the mail for my parents when I was little. I’m not sure, I guess I thought maybe, just maybe, there would be something cool in there- like a card or box from someone. You and I both know those days were SUPER rare, but I do think that anticipation may carry over into our adult world with email. Thanks for sharing and for giving me a new way to look at it.

Instead, I’ve noticed that most emails tend to have nothing more in them than everyday stuff and junk mail, just like the regular mail does. I don’t ever remember a time when I opened my email and got that great suprise I was hoping to find. (Like a letter from a long lost friend or classmate.) I’ve found that if I only check my email once or twice a day, it saves me a lot of time and I’m really not missing anything anyway.

Check email less; live more! Yup, that’s good advice.
