Efficiently managing our digital space is imperative, akin to organizing our physical surroundings. Beyond the conspicuous disorder of a sink full of dishes, the less perceptible chaos exists in our digital devices, impacting both our mental well-being and device performance. Digital clutter encompasses various forms, from cluttered email inboxes to overloaded desktops and unused apps, contributing to device slowdowns and information overload.
To combat this, various strategies can be employed. Utilizing tools like cloud-based storage allows for streamlined file management without burdening devices.

Managing email inboxes presents its challenges, and techniques such as archiving, categorizing with folders or labels, and unsubscribing from unused services contribute to maintaining a clean and organized inbox.
