I'm taking some time to reassess which platforms I should use to share stories and info with you. Of course, I want ManumaStyle.com to be our cozy clubhouse where we feel free to let our hair down for a longer read and up-to-date news. Short snippets are more suitable to other channels, like Facebook and Instagram, but I'm just one lady, and I can't be everywhere and still work toward actually producing the line… So here I'm trying something new: compiling a few useful links I've shared on Facebook into a digest here on the blog.

Inbox minimalism
Unroll.me might be the only inbox ad I've ever clicked on, and I definitely don't regret it.
I subscribe to a lot of newsletters and brand emails so I can stay up to date, but it gets wayyyy out of hand.
Unroll.me lets you clean up your inbox super easily:
1. Unsubscribe en masse;
2. "Roll-up" a whole bunch of subscriptions into just one email, Reader's Digest style.
But this isn't a sponsored mention- I love it. Just one more easy peasy way to eliminate decision fatigue, get clarity and focus and move toward your goals. #cleanslate #septemberisthenewjanuary
