Unfortunately, we're never going to see everything so we've got to work on being choosier about what we focus our attention on and be okay missing some things.

One of the reasons we open so many tabs is that we're afraid of missing something - be it an article to read, a video to watch, or something in your social feed, our brains tell us we want to see it all.We tend to trying and use tabs as an extension of our working memory, but as we open more and more tabs we stretch our mental resources and it can become overwhelming to figure out what we need to take care of.Today we're going to be looking at why we tend to have so many tabs open and then some of the ways we can work on reducing that number.įind the show note at /digitaldeclutter Now one thing that was fairly apparent to me is that my more neurodiverse friends tended to be those people who had the most tabs open, although to be clear having too many tabs open isn't just a neurodiverse condition, anyone can easily find themselves overwhelmed by tabs. This essay is an excerpt from of our 31-Days of Practical Minimalism Tips, which you can follow on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter.A few weeks ago I asked around on Facebook the number of tabs that my friends had open at the time.ĥ00 on their phone and 20 on their computer, 50-60 across 5-6 windows, 4-5, 16, 3, 80 across 9 windows, 2, 4, 7, 45, 112 over 17 windows…Īnd of course, at the time of my asking, I had 70 across 12 windows, although as I mentioned earlier I'm down to just a few right now - oftentimes these episodes are just as much about helping me as they are about helping you.Ĭlearly, a lot of people use their browsers in a lot of different ways. To make decluttering fun, I listen to music or podcasts. This monthly maintenance ensures our hard drives, desktops, devices, browsers, and inboxes are clear and easy to access. Typically, I spend 10-15 minutes a day organizing my digital spaces. Personally, The Minimalists save everything to Dropbox, and then once a month we move unused files and folders into an “Archive” folder. With a backed-up archive, you’ll have searchable access to all your files should you need them, but they’ll be out of the way until you do.

Here’s a tip: once a month, organize the folders on your computer, delete excess photos on your phones, clear unused bookmarks from your web browsers, and archive any files and emails you haven’t accessed in the past 90 days. We can do something similar with our personal computers, smartphones, and other devices. Take the Internet as an example: the World Wide Web is infinite, and thus impossible to “declutter.” It is, however, organized with precision through the use of URLs, IP addresses, etc. That said, digital clutter can still be problematic: unlike the physical world, you’ll never eliminate digital clutter completely, so it’s best to organize our digital world to make it easier to navigate.

Yes, it is important to remember that digital clutter actually isn’t as troublesome as physical clutter.įor example: Have you tried to carry a thousand books up a flight of stairs? How about a dozen photo albums? Or maybe a library of DVDs? If you have, then you know it’s much easier to move those possessions when they’re digital: thousands of books fit easily onto an e-reader, photo albums display beautifully in digital frames, and nearly every movie ever made streams effortlessly from the cloud.

Digital clutter is different from physical clutter.
