Tip #1

One of the first things to do when living abroad is to unsubscribe to all those daily/weekly emails that clutter the inbox and are usually unread. I'll keep the UrbanDaddy's and NY Grub Street's, Failblog's, and some newsletters, but delete those HauteLook, Rent the Runway, Thrillist, Tasting Table, store coupons and discounts and mailing lists...most of them are now inapplicable or not useful and more importantly, not worth the time reading while abroad.
