With my trying to make my digital experience more useful and fulfilling, one thing thats helped is just cleaning up things. It makes things run nicer and look nicer, plus just overall gives me a better idea what's going on around my computer (I have found so many old files I completely forgot I had.) in a way its actually a lot like cleaning my actual house lol- some things are to keep things running well or not lose stuff and others just make things look and feel nicer. also if you're objectum &/ posic it can be a great bonding experience to take care of your tech.

this cleaning may include:

  • deleting files I do not need
  • backing up files (I like physical drives)
    ^- both those include photos
  • cleaning out my email inbox
  • unsubscribing from things I don't want/need
  • organizing bookmarks
  • making new passwords for everything
    ^- make NEW passwords, try not to reuse old ones
    ^- Highly recommend using a password book
  • clearing cache & cookies for websites
  • setting a new home/lock screen
  • reorganizing apps
  • deleting apps I don't need
  • clearing out my many tabs Iv'e had open for days
    ^- use bookmarks for these
  • setting a new keyboard background on my phone
  • changing my custom mouse design
  • removing unneeded browser extensions
  • clearing out drafts on social medias.

the physical parts of tech might also benefit from some cleaning too:

  • cleaning the screens with microfiber wipe
  • brushing between/under keyboard keys
  • cleaning the inside your phone case (& outside but I feel like the inside oft gets forgotten)
    if you have a computer with many wires, setting up some cable management

plus checking how much time you spend on certain apps if you think you use too much and setting up limits if necessary.

Now I don't do this all at once nor do I have a specific schedule, I'm not nearly that organized in my life yet. but some things I'll try to do every couple months and others are just whenever my phone starts saying I need to clear space.
