I feel as though I can't catch up on my laptop. It's old and it's breaking down, and so it feels as though I can't whip through them as quickly as I could if my lap was new. So, I go to the powerful one at the library to speed through them. However, as of now, I am at over 1,800 e-mails in my main e-mail inbox. I spent an hour going through it (amongst other things), and I think I got through 300 of them before I had to leave. Meanwhile, the Facebook Newsfeed, uh, feed is not user-friendly. I click on the Notifications bell icon on the upper right to get the list of unread status updates, and I have to scroll all the way down to the earliest unread update. Moreover, once I get to that update and want to go the next one, I have to click on the bell again and scroll all the way down to the bottom again. I was able to, somehow, not face that constant doing over when I was last at the library. Instead, when I was ready to go on to the next update, I clicked on the bell and saw that my feed was where I left it: At the bottom, right at the earliest unread update. I don't know how I got it, but it disappeared after a while, and I have no idea how to get it back, so now I have to go back to the top of the feed and scroll all the way down every single time.
Yeah, first world problems, privilege, I get it. But my first e-mail has, I think, 48,000 frickin' unread messages going back a decade. I swore I would stay on top of what I could control, namely my Facebook Newsfeed and the inbox of the e-mail address I use most often nowadays. And clearly I am not, and clearly I don't know when nor how to get back in control of them.
