TJ Walker delivers a short habit tip advising viewers to hit the "unsubscribe" button instead of merely deleting unwanted emails. He argues that while deleting is faster in the moment, unsubscribing (which takes a few extra seconds) reduces future clutter, saves time, and frees mental bandwidth—both literally and metaphorically—by removing recurring distractions from life.
Default habit. Tip of the day Hit unsubscribe, not delete. All of us waste so much time in our life by getting email that we didn't really subscribe to or was useful to us a year ago, five years ago. But it comes in every day. Short term, it's much faster to just hit delete. It only takes a second. It takes a little more time, sometimes 5 seconds, sometimes 10 seconds, to hit unsubscribe. But ultimately that's what saves so much time. Frees up your brain to think about what's more important. I mean this literally, but I also mean it metaphorically and figuratively. There's so many aspects of life that we need to just get rid of completely, rather than saying no for today.
