Asking for even more emails in your life may seem odd, but sometimes they can be extremely useful.

Why do I picture Heartgard with a post about emails? Well, this is the sort of emails I’m talking about in that sometimes company emails can be the type that remind you of something that you need to do.  I have three cocker spaniels, and with as busy as I am, I must admit that I forget some of the little things in life like giving them their heartworm medicine.  So, once a month I get an email from the company to remind me that I need to give it to them.

There are numerous types of businesses that will do this, such as credit cards, electrical bills and so on, but then you run the problem of getting an overflowing inbox that is impossible to control.  So, solution number two is to set up an email account just for those types of mails.  True, you have to remember to log into that account to check it, but I just make it part of my daily regimen to check it, and that way those emails are separated from my normal correspondence, letting me retain what little of my sanity is left.

Sure, it’s always better to remember stuff for yourself, but in this day and age, let some of the little things be handled for you.
