How many unread emails is too many?

List keeper, note taker, lover of curated chaos. “Notes” is the most used app on my phone. I have 2,942 of them. I go through a 9 1/2" x 6" three-subject college ruled spiral bound notebook in 90 days. That’s 450 pages of notes every three months. I keep a digital calendar and the hardcopy kind on my fridge - the same style for the last 10 years. It has big boxes for each day and it’s ruled.

I love a bulleted list. Even better when the key topic of the line is 1 to 2 bolded words with a colon (aka a “sign post”). My brain thrives on the process of taking lines and lines of information and distilling them down to key points. Get to know me:

• Husband: 1 (or 1/2 depending on the day)

• Children: 2

• Dogs: 1

• Cats: 2

• House: 1

• Rental Houses: 3

• Extra Pounds: 50

• Degrees: 2

• Longest Job: 21 years 8 months

• Autoimmune Disorders: At least 3

• Hair: Brown, almost non-existent

• Unread Emails: 6,725
