Daily habit: Set a 1-minute timer to delete unused apps

Set a 1-minute timer to delete unused apps

Digital clutter creates mental clutter—this tiny purge makes your phone feel lighter and your mind clearer.

It’s like decluttering your mental space one icon at a time.

Just like a messy desk can stress you out, a cluttered phone screen can do the same without you realizing it.

This micro-habit makes your digital space feel fresh, intentional, and easier to navigate.

  • Frees up storage and reduces decision fatigue when scrolling.
  • Improves focus by removing unnecessary distractions.
  • Boosts your sense of control and order.
  • Often sparks the 'tidy-up' momentum for other digital areas.
  • Your phone might even run faster afterward!
