Electronic Spring Cleaning

Each spring, something inside us tells us to clean house. The bathroom, bedroom, and even under the rug all get a dose of spring cleaning.

So why doesn’t our technology get the same treatment? Our phones are full of apps we don’t use anymore and our desktops covered in downloads that need removal.

I recommend organizing your workstation first. Run a disk cleanup tool like CCleaner to remove unnecessary files, then organize what you have into folders. Next, remove all but the essentials from your phone. You can always add them again, but sometimes being disconnected makes you feel cleaner.
