As we embark on a new year, the promise of fresh beginnings prompts reflection on resolutions and aspirations for 2024. While we diligently outline workout plans, self-improvement goals, and strategies for home cleaning and organizing, it's essential not to overlook our digital domains. Just as we tidy up our physical spaces, a mindful digital declutter can significantly alleviate stress and enhance productivity in our day-to-day lives.
Here are some suggestions to begin your digital declutter:
01
Organize your emails
-
Clean out junk folders
-
Delete unread emails (spam)
-
Create folders
-
Unsubscribe from newsletters and businesses you no longer are interested in
02
go through your social media contacts
-
Delete or deactivate any accounts you don’t use
-
Unfollow or mute accounts that don’t add value to your life
-
Go through your inbox and delete old messages and spam
-
Adjust your privacy settings to best currently suit you
03
Use a password manager
-
A password manager is a tool that generates and remembers secure, random passwords for you.
-
Last Pass or Bitwarden (but there are many others)
-
04
Delete unwanted apps and update old accounts
-
Go through your devices and delete apps you no longer use. These can take up a ton of space on your device
-
Do you have an old email account with a questionable name? Perhaps delete these old accounts and create new handles that reflect you now
05
Reflect on your digital habits
-
Perhaps set your own guidelines for your digital usage and reflect on the impact that your daily digital time plays in your life.
