Removing digital clutter and reorganizing what’s left can help you better focus on what’s important to you.
Clutter is stressful, whether it’s a messy physical environment or a digital one. Today, it’s easier than ever to acquire and store loads of content on your phone, laptop and tablet. Some people could even be considered “digital hoarders” if they feel like they must constantly acquire more content, gather it without an intended purpose and have a hard time deleting anything. In a study published in 2022 in the journal Information & Management, researchers surveyed 846 adults and found that digital hoarding caused high levels of anxiety among respondents.
