Digital de-clutter - time for a spring clean

When was the last time you sorted out your computer files?
How many files do you have in your downloads folder, desktop?
Do you have a back up of your files?
Do you have 100,000 emails in your inbox?

Digital Clutter.

It does not take up physical space but it takes up energetic space.

Is it time to take stock and do a spring clean?

Does this task fill you with dread?

‘I haven’t got time’, ‘I simply don’t know where to start’, ‘this feels over-whelming’

Fear not.

Start with a simple plan in place and tackle it step by step.
Set aside 30 min per day and in no time you’ll see some real progress.

Here’s what I did recently:

Bought 64g external drive - have gone through a few folders on my laptop and transferred over some very large video files.

Have had a few calls with Mac Helpdesk to help and provide advice on storage etc.

Have backed up my Mac to time machine

I’m sorting out my docs first, then I’ll schedule another call with Mac to help with advice on how to manage photos.

I’m dedicating around one hour per day to this.

When I get the bulk of this done, I’ll then revise my systems for keeping things in order - especially photos!

The benefits:

Peace of mind - my work is backed up securely

My laptop works better - no unnecessary large files taking up space

I’m maintaining my Mac health and increasing it’s life span

Clearing out and deleting old files has a positive impact energetically - out with the old, in with the new.

I can FIND stuff more easily, everything is more organised, this saves me time.

It feels so good and once you get started, it can be quite addictive! You’ll find your rhythm. I hope this has inspired you!
