The tools of text and email:

“Unsubscribe”
“Delete and Report Junk”
“Move to Spam”
“Stop”

Unfortunately, our personal interactions don’t offer these simple features. But that doesn’t mean we can’t have our filters tuned.

It’s not always an easy thing to do, but we would do well to disengage from some conversations. To archive some experiences. To swiftly delete some opportunities.

Junk and spam aren’t limited to inboxes. Subtle versions can find us in lots of ways.

Be wary. Sort appropriately when practical.
