Your home is fresh, your closets are tidy, your sunglasses are ready… but your phone? Your laptop? Your inbox? They’re still cluttered with digital junk from winter.
Time for a digital spring clean, so you can roll into summer feeling light and fully prepared. Because believe us: nothing is more annoying than searching for that one vacation video among 3,287 screenshots of recipes you never made.
So: tidy everything up, and then hit the beach with a clear head and an organized phone. 🌞
1. Your phone: your digital handbag
You always have it with you. So make it a place that makes you happy.
- Delete apps you don’t use (yes, that meditation app from 2021 can go).
- Unfollow accounts that make you feel bad.
- Clean up your camera roll (duplicate selfies? Grocery list screenshots? Delete).
- Make summer playlists (because the summer feeling starts with music).
- Give your background and case a fresh update.
Your phone suddenly feels… lighter. And so do you.
2. Your inbox: from stress zone to summer-ready
Time to say goodbye to emails that start with “Last chance!” (you never open them anyway).
- Unsubscribe from newsletters you never read.
- Archive or delete anything you no longer need.
- Turn off notifications from apps you only open when you're bored.
- Summer = less noise. Literally.
3. Your laptop: tidy desktop, tidy mind
Whether you use it for work or vacation planning — a digital clean-up works wonders.
- Clear your desktop (we see that “Chaos” folder).
- Empty your trash bin (yes, even that one).
- Back up your important files.
And give yourself a summery wallpaper. You’re working from a laptop, not a grey void.
4. Your browser: for smooth summer surfing
Online chaos? No one relaxes like that.
- Close those 34 open tabs. Yes, really.
- Delete bookmarks for stuff you’ll never read again.
- Clear your cache, cookies, and passwords you forgot ages ago.
That way, you'll book a beach bed or find a new summer recipe in no time.
5. Your photos: save memories, ditch the mess
Summer = taking photos. So start making space now.
- Delete blurry or duplicate photos.
- Create folders (think: ‘Summer 2023’, ‘Spain Holiday’, ‘All-time Faves’).
- Back up your photos — cloud, hard drive, doesn’t matter, just do it.
You’ll be ready to capture new memories — without your phone being clogged by 100 old menus.
6. Your to-dos: fewer lists, more freedom
Take a critical look at your digital agenda. Does it all really need to happen?
- Color-code summer plans (yellow = beach, green = patio, duh).
- Set reminders for fun things. Picnics with friends = also important.
Open those digital windows
Digital decluttering might sound like a chore, but trust us: after just one hour you’ll feel like a new person. Fresher. Freer. And ready for a summer full of spontaneous plans, sunscreen, and sunsets.
Make yourself an iced coffee, put on your favorite playlist, and go for it.
Your digital self will so thank you.
