Does Your Life Need A Digital Declutter?
Did you know: research shows that too much information crowding your device can be just as anxiety-inducing as traditional messes?! At any change of season, there always seems to be a lot of talk about how important it is to declutter your home to make room for what’s next. For example, after the new year, you likely try to make room for your kids’ new Christmas toys, to donate items you no longer use, and to take down decorations to get back to a “breathable” home as soon as the holiday is over.
And it’s for good reason. Too much visual clutter is known to overstimulate your brain and send it into overdrive, prompting greater distractions and feeling of overwhelm. If you’ve ever felt your body tense up when your house is a mess, this is WHY. If you’ve ever felt that sigh of relief when your home is sparkly clean (even for a moment), this is WHY.
Here’s the thing. When it comes to your digital clutter, it’s sneaky. Because unlike locking it away in a junk drawer or storage closet for “out of sight, out of mind,” it’s with you—likely in your backpocket—24/7! That little device called your phone is the culprit.
Digital clutter can look like:
- Emails
- Texts
- Voicemails
- Notifications
- Podcasts
- Notes
- Calendar
- Apps
- Games
- Files
- Camera Roll Photos
- Storage Space
- iPhone Videos
Does reading this list by itself make your body tense? I’ll bet your phone screen is filled with little red dots if so!
Just as physical clutter takes up mental space in our lives, so does digital clutter. By staying in charge of our technology—and all of the digital clutter it brings—we can step into a more simplified life.
If your digital life could use a little tidy, here is a FREE GUIDE just for you. And guess what? You can complete each task in LESS THAN 5 MINUTES each day. AND do so while you’re on the couch watching your new favorite show.
So my friend, let this year be the year you bring PEACE to your digital space.
