We spend so much of our time on our phones and other electronic devices. We have so many different files and apps that it can be hard to keep track of them all.

*Organizing your desktop files and deleting anything you will no longer need
*Unfollowing anyone on social media whose feed doesn’t bring you joy
*Organizing or deleting photos from your camera roll
*Going through your favorite music streaming app and removing any songs you no longer like or listen to
