A rush for constant upgrades leaves us with more new gadgets and inevitably larger digital clutter. Each new device multiplies chats, emails, notifications, and the data dump.  The result? 

A digital space similar to an overstuffed closet.

Digital chaos, in the form of unread emails, multiple open tasks, and downloads, all contribute to confusion. Every notification is like an alarm by itself.  The pesky promos or spam calls are another cauldron of interruptions.

All of these eat into our focus throughout the day.

Is there help at hand? Absolutely! Even a brief digital reboot can bring much relief.

Here’s what helped me:

• Unsubscribe from one low-value newsletter daily
• Archive/delete untouched files
• Delete old mails and downloads that have served their purpose
• Silence unnecessary notifications for set hours

Five minutes a day is enough to reclaim clarity — not just on your screens, but in your mind too.

Organising our devices pays off beyond that initial burst of relief. It means less time spent searching, fewer distractions amidst important work, and a lower baseline of stress.

Think of it like tidying up any space – your work desk, kitchen, or closet. Everything feels easier when we aren’t scuffling through clutter to find what we need.

If you’re curious where to begin, pick one device and set aside five minutes. Delete the unnecessary items, used OTPs and transaction notifications. Archive if you need something, and clear out everything redundant.

A quick round of digital decluttering can make your day feel noticeably lighter.

In our fast-paced, automated world, let’s make digital hygiene a lasting habit.
