Episode 96: Why Your Email Account Should Only Be For Email

Episode summary

They say pick your battles. Well, I'm picking mine. I want you to ditch Gmail.

Maybe you're holding back because you think that means giving up Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Photos, or some other Google service.

If this is you, I have great news. I promise: you can ditch Gmail, but keep all the rest of the Google services you use.

Option 1 - Let your Gmail account survive, but transition away from ever using it. Not using the Gmail service doesn't stop you from using any other Google service.

This works great if you are a heavy user of Google services.

Option 2 - Create a new Google account, using a non-Gmail email address. I know that might sound crazy and impossible, but it's easy.

It works the same as creating an account at any other website, other than the fact that Google makes it the default to signup using Gmail.

Drop me a note when you've made the switch!
