How to do a Digital Declutter
- Set aside a 30-day period during which you will take a break from optional technologies in your life. Work email is not optional. Twitter probably is.
- During this break, explore and rediscover activities and behaviors you find satisfying and meaningful.
- And after the 30 days are up, reintroduce the optional technologies you want back into your life.
- Determine the value it brings you and how specifically you can use it to maximize that value.
- Bing optional technologies back by first creating rules on how exactly you’ll use them and when.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
