The Digital Declutter Process
- Put aside thirty days during which you will take a break from all optional technologies in your life
- Define your technology rules and operating procedures
- During this break, explore and rediscover activities and behaviours that you find satisfying and meaningful
- Dealing with the thirty days
- At the end of the break, reintroduce optional technologies into your life, starting from a blank slate. For each introduced technology, figure out what value it serves and how specifically you will use it to maximise this value
