THE EMAIL CLASS with Alexandra Franzen. Because email should feel exciting, not exhausting.
Back in ye olden days, you’d hear that thrilling ping from your computer (“You’ve got mail!”) and you’d scurry over with bated breath, eager to see what it might be.
But these days? For most people, the magic is gone.
Rather than feeling like a powerful tool, email feels like a tedious chore (at best) and a source of shame and anxiety (at worst).
So many people feel incredibly overwhelmed by email.
It’s time to change this.
Let’s bring excitement, creativity, and fun back into email.

* Shift your attitude about email. No more “inbox shame,” feeling “shackled” to your inbox, or “checking in” way too often. Feel calmer about your inbox. Set healthier limits and boundaries. Reduce screen-time.
* Add more of your personality and creativity into emails. Make email feel like a cool art project–not a boring, life-sucking chore.
* Feel energized when you open your inbox, not exhausted and full of dread!
