Do a yearly "digital reset"

https://anildash.com/2020/12/31/a-personal-digital-reset/

The author does a digital reset once a year, and I'm gonna do the same.

Some takeaways:

  1. Be intentional about what you view.
  2. "App defaults are designed for the companies that make them, not for users".
  3. You really won't need what you cut out (ignore FOMO)

Who's in?

    This is basically a digital Komari tidy up.

    I have done it myself.

    I recently went through my entire personal laptop (about 200GB of local storage) and deleted stuff that are no longer relevant.

    My files are now organized by topic and by year.
    Other than certain files that should be kept forever, I default to a 7 year retention policy. Because... ugh tax audit?
    If it's not required by law and doesn't spark joy, I simply delete.

    I am a minimalist in general. Optimize internet for making money and impact.

    This is a fantastic idea. I try to remind myself to do rolling purges of stuff I sign up for etc. but I love this. Maybe a more drastic approach is simply easier.

    I’m in!

    I personally try to do that as I go. I'm very intentional about who I allow into my inbox and what I see on social media, etc. But with that said, a good spring cleaning from time to time is definitely helpful.

    Side note: Best way to do a reset is to delete your facebook/insta/snap/tiktok, etc. etc.
