My experience with email in general has been so exhausting. This year I finally set up a new email address at a custom domain (with * catchall), but what I've found is that I'm afraid to give it to anyone. Right now I'm using it to communicate with like 3 people and it feels so nice.

I may use the * in the future for custom emails for groups of concerns (jobs@domain or applications@domain, hn@domain, banking@domain), but I'm worried it will just add to the heaping mental overhead I already experience when working with email (what was my address I use for this again...?, etc). I can't help the feeling that it's just a matter of time before it starts to look like my original email account where even unsubscribing from things seems like a labor of Sisyphus, but this time with the added noise of it going to an email naming system I've lost control of.
