Digital clutter can be as damaging as physical clutter, both financially and environmentally. With the digital world creating emissions that now surpass the airline industry's carbon footprint, it is crucial to manage digital assets. Techniques for decluttering include unsubscribing from unwanted emails—starting with a goal of five per day—and deleting unused apps to enhance efficiency. This process can make technology work for us, not against us, streamlining our digital lives for better productivity without the emotional burden associated with decluttering.
Most of us receive more than we could ever read, so start with unsubscribing. Yes, it's easier to simply delete, but if you'd like to avoid getting weekly or even daily marketing emails from that candle company you gave your email address to in order to save 10% on your only purchase, you've got to go to the source.
Holding on to extra files, apps, and other digital assets not only costs money, but it's also costing us all in terms of the environment. In fact, computing has now surpassed the airline industry's carbon footprint.
