7PS: I declared war on this…📎

Imagine that I put a big, beautiful brick in your mailbox.

The next day, you receive 20 more beautiful bricks…

And now there’s no room left in your mailbox.

I’m talking metaphorically about email attachments.

Every week, people send me dozens of WAVs, PDFs, etc.

“Will you listen to my music, read my book?”

Some sign up for this newsletter to get my email address to pitch me.

But I don’t read them.

I’ve declared war on email attachments.

Will you join my cause?

Sending bulky attachments without permission can be impolite & overbearing.

Consider the carbon footprint (~50g of CO2 per attachment).

👉🏽 Here’s what to do instead

I’m pretty sure your recipients will be grateful.
