How do you guess handle digital clutter?

[HEY-ITS-COREY]

A cool trick I learned awhile ago is to take the picture smile at it and then delete it. I do the same with shopping...put it all in a cart...then delete the cart instead of buying. Because the thrill comes from the shopping, not the owning. It works in many cases actually. Great video Nick, hope you are well.

What a great set of guidelines! The only minor gripe I have is regarding photos, as I'd much rather take a photo and delete it later than not take it and then regret missing out on a cool shot. That said, I'm definitely guilty of having a bunch of random memes, screenshots, duplicate pics, etc. which you've just inspired me to go through and clean up. But I do occasionally find myself scrolling through memory lane and some stuff that's really silly and useless to have on its face still gives me a lot of joy by the memories associated with it. Besides that, the points about giving everything a home and purging regularly are so simple yet insightful, and definitely something I need to implement more as I try to clear out lots of physical and digital clutter from my life.

I’ve always believed in keeping your digital space organized. Keeps me calm and focused and I can actually find stuff!

I know a issue I often have is screenshot and memes. I swear they just collect over time. I often screenshot as a quick way to research something in the future. Often times I forget about it. I haven’t found a solution yet, but every six months I just go and delete everything and organize folders. I’m glad years ago I kept my old email for things I know I might receive junk from. My personal email is always clutter free. The hardrives is my biggest challenge. I know they’re reliable now, but I cant trust them, hate that feeling of losing a special memory or travel photos. So I often back things up on two or three hardrives.

This video was super helpful! I've been trying to organize my digital world lately. I even dumbed down my smartphone and stopped taking so many photos. It's nice to know I'm not the only one who gains a lot of value from being more minimal digitally. Thanks for the great content!😊

Thanks for sharing your process. I found that using Astirna New Tab has helped me keep my digital workspace more organized too.

I’m terrible at keeping my digital clutter contained. 😅 I have too many photos, unread emails, bookmarks and open tabs. thanks for the tips! I need to set aside time to tidy up my digital life.

having enought cloud storage is a major relife, if it's cheap or you just let the last 3 months on it.
I really recommend it because i can easly show my friends old memories that would have been saved up on my computer with just a tap.

[zulfizaaar]

I do that too, like categorize my folders by each year 🙌🏿 it’s very good 😊 thank u for helpful tips on that not taking the pic but enjoying the moment ❤

These are some really nice ideas on how to handle Digital clutter. After watching a few of your videos I decided to do the same and now my iPhone only has the essential apps. As far as photos I tend to always save them in a flash drive once I pass 100 photos since I don’t like having too many pictures in my phone and I tend to take a lot.

Excellent video! I'm about to declutter my phone, I searched for this video! 😃 I can definitely relate to these. I'm a photo taker. I have a huge amount of photos, videos, apps on my phone. Just the other day I took a photo of my meal in a restaurant. 🤫 I take photos of concerts, screenshot things I don't have time to read, I make videos on my phone... 128GB almost full of "stuff"!

[aurelie-ho]

I just came back from a short holiday and had to go through a few hundreds photos, half of them were not needed and deleted😂 but I'm happy I capture special moments💛

[hintofglosss]

me hearing 600 photos is the average when i have 16, 000+ to go through 😵‍💫 really appreciate the tips!

I’ve been using an Apple Watch cellular as kind of a ‘dumb phone’since it’s release, the last 3 months I have owned the Apple Watch Ultra, it’s my essential minimalism tool and freedom from the phone for longer times.

This is so great! Most of us may have a more messy digital space than physical space.

New here, hi! I've recently been looking into how to reduce my digital footprint. I'm beginnning to feel digitally overwhelmed and the thought of trying to reduce it all has made me avoid it a bit. Thanks for the video.
