Digital Declutter: Clean Up Your Email, Phone, and Brain for Good (Ep 314)

Digital clutter doesn’t pile up on your counter, but it absolutely piles up in your brain. Every unread email, every unused app, every notification going off every eight minutes is quietly draining your focus and your energy.

In this episode I’m giving you three moves for your inbox, three moves for your phone, and a simple weekly habit that keeps all of it under control going forward.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• The one reframe that changes how you think about email forever
• How to cut your inbox in half this week without losing anything important
• The 30-day app audit (and why you don’t have to fully delete things to get them out of your way)
• The Favorites list trick that lets you protect your peace without missing important calls
• The three-habit digital maintenance system that takes under 15 minutes a week

Resources mentioned:

• Unroll.me (mass email unsubscribe tool)
