Digital Declutter

Systematically organize and declutter your digital life. Reduces digital noise, improves focus, and creates sustainable systems for keeping things organized going forward.

Usage

Describe your digital pain points (overflowing inbox, messy desktop, too many apps). The skill creates:

• Audit Checklist: Every digital area to review (devices, cloud, accounts)
• File Organization: Folder structure and naming conventions
• App Cleanup: Criteria for keeping, archiving, or deleting apps
• Email System: Inbox management with filters, labels, and processing rules
• Notification Audit: Which notifications to keep, silence, or turn off entirely
• Account Consolidation: Identify and close unused accounts
• Maintenance Schedule: Weekly, monthly, quarterly upkeep tasks

Examples

1. Total Reset: "Full digital declutter. I have 15,000 unread emails, 200+ apps on my phone, desktop covered in files, and 5 cloud storage accounts with overlapping files."

1. Work Computer: "Organize my work MacBook. Files scattered across Desktop, Downloads, Documents, and 3 cloud drives. Need a system for project files, references, and archives."

1. Phone Cleanup: "Declutter my iPhone. 300 apps, 50K photos, notifications from everything. Help me create a minimal, focused phone setup."

1. Subscription Audit: "Audit all my online accounts and subscriptions. I'm signed up for services I forgot about, getting spam from everywhere, and paying for things I don't use."

Guidelines

• Declutter in order: delete/unsubscribe first, then organize what remains — don't organize junk
• Turn off all notifications by default, then selectively enable only the truly important ones
• Use the 2-folder rule for most people: an Inbox/Working folder and an Archive folder
• Unsubscribe from emails aggressively — if you haven't read the last 3, unsubscribe
• Delete apps you haven't used in 30 days — you can always re-download them
• Schedule a 15-minute weekly cleanup to prevent re-accumulation
• Apply the "one touch" rule: when you encounter a file/email, process it immediately — file, act, or delete
