my digital decluttering habit that made a real difference is a weekly clean up ritual I set a 20 minute timer and purge the desktop downloads and old files Then I archive finished projects and prune apps I no longer use I also prune browser bookmarks by deleting dead links and I group sites with simple tags for work and personal This cuts decision fatigue and makes it easy to find what matters minimalist lifestyle 2025 trends

unsubscribing aggressively from newsletters you never read and setting a single daily time to check mail changed how I feel about inbox chaos It frees mental bandwidth and makes it easier to focus on real work

keep a single cloud based workspace with a clean folder tree and strict naming rules for new documents save with date and project name to help search later no more hunting through folders
