Eap 165: Spring Forward With a Digital Declutter

On this episode of the Early Accountability Podcast, Kimi focuses on another good way to do some spring cleaning – by being intentional about a digital declutter. These days, it seems like everything that needs to be done can be done online or through an app, especially since COVID-19 pushed so many things to go virtual. This can lead to digital clutter and unnecessary overwhelm, so take this as your sign that you need to follow this list and bring back some clarity to your life. 1. Unhoard – You know that iPhone 4 and your laptop from 10 years ago that you keep in that closet in the hall? You aren’t going to need them, but perhaps someone else can. Do some research in your area about technology donation and recycling programs to take that weight off of your mind. 2. Unsubscribe – Check out your latest bank statement or account summary to see what subscriptions you are paying for every month or every year – chances are, you will find a few things that you aren’t using and you can stop paying for. The same goes for your email – don’t be afraid to unsubscribe from newsletters and mailing lists that don’t interest you anymore! 3. Uninstall – Comb through the apps that you have on your phone, tablet, or computer and evaluate what you really need to have on there. Getting back to the basics will reduce the number of notifications you receive and the number of apps that can take your time. 4. Unplug – Make space for yourself to just think and be. Kimi recommends setting a “wind down” timer on your phone so you can turn off your screens or start using a blue light filter to get your mind ready to go to sleep. You could also consider completely unplugging for a few hours or a weekend as long as people know where you are and that you are safe.
