    I have 35,189 photos/videos right now, oops, lol. But! A year or two ago, I set a weekly reminder on Sundays to spend ten minutes clearing out screenshots. If they're memories, they get saved in my journaling app; if they're reminders, I make sure the relevant information gets put in my to-do app. That has helped tremendously!

    My hardest digital declutter are my computer files. I have assignments from middle school and I always think, "what if I want to look back on these later?"

    • @julesacree
      @julesacree  6 місяців тому +25

      Oh! Save those in a folder on Dropbox and then just unsync it from your hard drive. So you can still view it on web and download if you want but it’s not taking up actual storage! I have lots of old memories saved that way :)

    • @AWonderfulSheep
      @AWonderfulSheep 6 місяців тому +5

      @@julesacree oh my gosh I didn’t realize you could unsync from hard drive. That is so good to know (goes back to reupload all old work files I moved from Dropbox to a usb lol)

  • @Labelmemerritdaily
    @Labelmemerritdaily 6 місяців тому +25

    Loved this! One suggestion to add to digital decluttering is notifications! Going through and turning off push notifications you don’t actually need is a great way to clear your digital space and reduce unnecessary screentime distractions 🙂

    I. Have less than 2, 000. A cool way I organized the 10k video and photo on my content phone is add the designated video/photo into a folder so when you need to declutter you can upload the folder onto Dropbox and delete off phone. Thank you for another great video.

My mailbox was so overflowing, and even though I'm still working through my to do's, this gives me instant satisfaction. So yes let's go !! Can't wait to have renewed my whooooole life. I'm moving houses around this time so I feel like I'm starting brand new. Let's start this chapter freshhhhh with Jules

    Loved this video Jules! A much needed declutter these days! Do you know any app that helps to do the same in social media? After years of mindless following/accepting requests, I'm feeling tired, but I still love the social media for keeping in touch with some foreing friends and for inspo, also I wouldn't like to delete the photos/videos shared there over the years. I´ve tried to delete some friends/ followers, but after around 5, the app stops letting, so it will be a really slow process... any tips?
