Unsubscribed from 41 shopping newsletters in one sitting

Inbox looks different. Head looks different. I had no idea how much of my daily attention was just being farmed.

Spent forty-five minutes on a rainy Sunday just hitting unsubscribe. Did not replace the habit with anything. Did not download an inbox cleaner app. Just the button, forty-one times.

The number itself is the story. Forty-one companies had my email address and my permission to interrupt me. I gave that away for what — a ten percent off code I didn't use?

    Do the same with TikTok's 'For You' by tapping 'not interested' on every shopping haul. Took a week. Feed reset.

    41 is wild. I just did mine — 63. Some of these I don't remember signing up for. I think one of them was a checkout on a plane.

    The relief of an empty promotions tab is a feeling I forgot existed.
