Our physical space impacts us so much. If I am in a cluttered, untidy room I can’t concentrate. I either need to tidy or move to a new space to be productive or to relax.
Cluttered technology does this to us as well. Most of us have smart phones that are meant to make our lives simpler, and to an extent they do, but they also take a lot of our free time away from us.
I think we can all relate to grabbing our phone to check the weather and 20 minutes later finding ourselves mindlessly scrolling through Instagram.
One day a few months ago I found myself so absorbed in my phone that I completely ignored my pets, my partner, and my tea kettle screaming on the kitchen stove. I realized that I had meant to check the time and ended up mindlessly scrolling again.
I had been able to simplify, to give myself time and space to truly live, and I was wasting all that time on my phone! Again, not all screen and phone time is a waste but when you don’t want to spend all of your down time on your phone and you are it’s time to make a change.
So, I decided to declutter my phone.
