Decluttering your Inbox, Apps, Notifications, Posts, Likes, etc.

I just wanted to share some insight from a post I read on the Trello blog today about how most people's compulsive interactions with our phones, web browsers and social media has become like "digital clutter" and is just as infuriating as real life clutter. It also obviously creates less mindfulness and meditation, of which the universe must seriously be in an all-time low. I wonder if there is such a thing as a hoarder and interventions for digital clutter?

Below is a short excerpt:

Digital clutter is a bit easier to ignore than a messy home, but it can definitely benefit from the KonMari Method. In a tidy nutshell, KonMari centers on the concept that people will “spark joy” and live a happier life when they organize the items in their surroundings to eliminate stress-inducing clutter and take care of valued possessions. If the item brings you true joy, you keep it (and organize it properly). If it doesn’t? Sayonara, stuff.

Once your home is tidy, you might notice that you're more sensitive to digital clutter. The biggest hurdle is that digital clutter includes more than the files and apps that are saved on our devices.  
The time that you spend online and on social media can contribute to "digital clutter" if it's not aligned with how you want to live. Tidying digital clutter may involve lifestyle changes, since it's so common to be glued to our phones. 

Start by being more conscious of the volume of digital items in your life, and prioritize those that bring you joy. Feeling overwhelmed at work is natural when you constantly keep dozens of browser tabs open on your computer or have every item possible on your to-do list at all times. Notifications are another area to focus on: Be mindful of how you implement them to avoid overload, and be kind to yourself. What information is truly important for you to do your job most successfully?

Thanks for the valuable free advice, Trello!
