How many emails do you receive in any given week? How about a month or a year? I’ve never really thought about it too much, though I do receive a lot of emails between work and home. I also have a few emails for different writing ventures so there is that too. 

When I decided to look into how many emails were coming and going like paper airplanes in Harry Potter, I was surprised to find out that at any given day, you and I receive around 88 emails per day.

How do you keep track of all the bits of information in your life? When I say bits of information, I am talking about ideas, things to remember, and information you may need to reference at another time. We need to keep track of things, but how do we do it? Especially if we want to reference them later.

This has been a constant struggle for me.

When life was less complicated, when I was single, I didn’t have any issues keeping track of things. Yet, when I got married and added three kids to the mix plus assets it got much more complicated. Each time we have added something new to keep track of I have had to change up my system a little bit.

However, lately, I have gone back to a much more simple system with a very simple application.
