Black Friday's coming, and so is the email tsunami. One email company alone delivered more than 20 billion messages during Cyber Week last year. Gmail has a button that cleans up the mess for you.

0:12

It's called Manage Subscriptions. It lists every store that emails you and how many messages each one sent lately. Tap Unsubscribe and Gmail sends a request for you. No more hunting for that tiny link at the bottom of an email.

0:24

Keep the stores you love, dump the rest. Your order confirmations and shipping updates still come through. Open Gmail, look in the menu and choose Manage Subscriptions. One warning, this is for real stores, not spam.

That was the opening. The rest of the episode (6 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
