Easy Ways To Do A Digital Declutter

 

1. Delete Junk/Spam Emails

It seems like over time, the amount of spam emails that make their way into our inboxes just keeps growing! I recently went on a mass deleting spree and literally cleared out over 1,000 emails (I know, why did I let that many pile up in the first place haha) – it felt amazing when I was finished.

 

2. Unsubscribe From Email Lists and Marketing Newsletters

Following the above tip, the next step you’re going to want to complete is going in and unsubscribing from all unwanted marketing email lists and newsletters you’ve been receiving. This is a really easy way to do a digital declutter that not only clears up space in your inbox but (I find) also really helps to reduce your stress levels.

 

3. Get Rid Of All Duplicate Photos and Videos

If you’re like me, you probably take multiple photos and videos of the same things from slightly different angles and have a ton of essentially identical content taking up space on both your phone AND your computer (you guys, even my iPad is a problem these days omg).

Save yourself a ton of valuable storage on your devices by taking the time to go through and delete hundreds – if not thousands – of photos and videos. I started taking this task seriously at the end of last year and when I first started I was completely overwhelmed, so I started breaking the task down into small, manageable goals like getting rid of 100 photos/videos per day.

Once you’ve made decent progress on that, change the way you operate going forward and make it a goal of yours to only take 2-3 photos max of the same thing. This way you still have a small variety and can choose your favorite, but there aren’t so many duplicates that you start to get anxious and stressed over it.

 

4. Organize Your Home Screen

There are tons of tutorials on Youtube that explain how to do this, but there is an app called Widgetsmith that makes it possible to design your dream phone home screen using any aesthetic you can think of. You can use it to add small photos and even customize your app icons to anything you want so that everything is matching!

I would highly recommend doing this because it really makes your phone a more aesthetically pleasing and calming place to be.

 

5. Limit The Number of Tabs You Have Open

I’m pretty sure we’re all guilty of this, but there are times when I have upwards of 10-15 tabs open in my browser, which is way too chaotic and overwhelming. Consciously try to keep that number under five, and you should feel way less stressed when working on your computer!

You can even try to do a one or two tab challenge for a few days, where you try not to exceed that limit and just complete everything you need to do using only those 1-2 tabs.
