My digital decluttering journey
I am a hoarder, I have serious FOMO. I admit it. And I work on it
Background
I follow a lot of accounts, subscribe to loads of emails newsletters. Because I think I need their content or their service later. But to be honest, I seldom open some of them.
And the most important problem is, they keep popping up and blocking me away from what I really need. I need to go through so many useless info to reach the emails I really needed. Very frustrating.
I once read a book said that the bookshelf of a person is a collection of what it in ones mind. A keepsake for ones interest and mind. The writer of that book suggests that books bought unread is fine, and hoarding book is fine.
I think this also work for your browser bookmark, twitter and instagram follows, and instagram bookmark. I agree with using them as a keepsake of ideas and visualizing what is in my mind.
But, I think that they need editing all the time.
Decluttering, managing, extract what is only needed.
My Decluttering Scope
I always said things can’t go well with a scope. Set yourself scopes and boundaries, go step by step in it. After finishing, start another scope.When it comes to digital decluttering, these are what get my focus the most:
- Netflix playlist
- Twitter follows+Instagram follows
