Effortlessly organize digital photos on Windows or Mac: centralize files, use folders by year or event, delete duplicates, and try AI-powered tools like Peakto or Lightroom for fast sorting and stress-free management. #PhotoOrganization #DigitalDeclutter #TechTips
I think that time of the year has come: I'm going to purge my #YouTube subscriptions. 47 channels are too much, definitely.
Time for another #DigitalDeclutter, as Cal Newport outlined in #DigitalMinimalism:
1. Put aside 30 days for forgoing optional technologies.
2. During this period, explore meaningful activities.
3. Resume using technologies in a way that maximises their value for you.
I’ll be off Mastodon — and other social media — until Easter or later.

2024 Update
I just weighed the container, it's 6.4 kg including the box! Flipping heck, that's a lot of paper. I definitely want to convert a lot of that into digital files! I'm not lugging that amount of pulp around with me, cheez, no way.
Maybe I can weigh this box every so often, see how much I eliminated?
It is true: you get motivated from doing. Thinking about it might focus you on what you want, but it's not motivating in itself.
I have a box of leaflets from exhibition visits, museum and cinema tickets, lots of items that remind me of things I've been to, experiences. I dont want to lose those reminders, because I wouldn't easily recall many of them.
I decided to start scanning some of these in. Just the covers of leaflets that I wasn't that impressed by. Not single scans of tickets but several together. Pick and choose. Just a few items each session, don't want to overdo it.
It's experimenting time again 👀️

I’m trying another #DigitalDeclutter, as #CalNewport outlined in his #DigitalMinimalism book. I’ll be off Mastodon — and other social media — until April at least.

It was this article on Rest Less that reminded me of what I do:

Great idea to search your email for "Welcome/Verify" to see what I signed up for and close accounts, I try but don't stay on top of that enough. Spreading yourself far exposes you more to hacks and scamming. Close down as many unused accounts and apps as you can. I can see I need do lots more short sessions!
The nice thing: these sessions make me feel freer and lighter, great feeling!
It's a lot easier to act on that One Scary Email when it's literally the only one left in the folder
