Tidy Inbox saved my pocket from getting tiny

It’s been about two months now since Newton introduced Tidy Inbox. Apart from keeping my inbox clean it has also helped me:

1. Spend less time on the phone.
2. Get directly to important email.
3. Save some money.

You may be wondering how did it help me save some dough? Well, you see, I am impulsive and shop online a lot. Combine both of them, and we have a recipe for disaster! A simple email notification from PlayStation Network about a digital discount would trigger my I-gotta-buy-this bell, which would slowly eat up my bank balance. It’s good for PlayStation but not so much for me. I have found myself to be a victim of such mails on multiple occasions. With recommendation systems getting better over time the problem just kept getting worse. PlayStation wasn’t the only predator — Amazon, Myntra, DailyObjects and many others ‘victimised’ me too. Dailyobjects would even remind me that I had an abandoned cart (Abandoned: A profound word that evokes strong emotions; almost made me feel I sinned).

But all of this changed when Tidy Inbox came in. No more emails telling me I abandoned my cart, no more emails pestering me to buy something just because it’s at a discount. No more distractions. Just the emails that mattered to me the most. The trigger that would inevitably propel me into a shopping spree, was no more.

Never had I ever imagined that not getting notifications would help me maintain a healthy bank balance!

Tidy Inbox has done wonders for me and as bizarre as it may sound. It helped me save a lot of bucks.
