Technical reports indicated that to avoid what is called “digital clutter,” you must remove the clutter from your phone to make it more organized and tidy.
Here are some simple steps to help you achieve this task:
– Clean photos and videos: Saving photos on your device without regularly backing them up is a risky move. If you lose your phone, or it breaks, you may lose photos and data forever. In any case, it is important that you delete photos and videos that you do not need, and you may be surprised to see how much memory you have freed up.
– Delete any apps you don’t use: Delete any apps you don’t use from your phone. If you delete an app and later decide you need it, all it takes is a tap on the screen to download it again.
– Organize the apps you use: Drag the apps you use most often to your home screen so they’re easy to access, and organize others into folders, grouping them by type or function so you can find what you need quickly and intuitively. If you prefer to put them there in alphabetical order because that makes the most sense to you, that’s okay too. The idea is to organize the apps in a logical way to save time and remove clutter.
Delete old, unnecessary voice messages: Save any voice messages you need, then start deleting. Don’t stop until your voice mailbox is at zero. Once it gets there, try to keep it that way.
– Reducing notifications that come to your phone: Disabling any notifications that you do not need, your phone will be quieter, and this is a good and relaxing thing. Reducing notifications will also help you reduce distractions in your life. It will also help you be more interested in people as well as work, instead of constantly being distracted by every sound your phone makes.
– Clean contacts: When was the last time you actually looked at the contacts list on your phone? You probably have all kinds of numbers saved there that you don’t ever need, from old colleagues and former friends to people you once saw. All of this makes the contacts on your phone a treasure trove of old memories that contain a lot of information that you don’t really need anymore. Take some time and delete any numbers you know you won’t need again.
– Delete old downloads: If you’ve ever opened a PDF menu on your phone, it’s likely that it not only opened that file, but saved it somewhere on your device. And if you can find your Downloads folder, you’ll find all kinds of interesting files that you needed once, and never used again. Finding the Downloads folder varies a little from device to device, so do a quick Google search to find out how to access it on your device. After that, start the deletion process and clear those unnecessary files.
