About this template
The phone and the laptop fill up like a garage. This is a weekend of emptying them: apps you do not open, accounts you forgot, subscriptions you pay for, the photo roll, the downloads folder, and every notification that does not deserve you.
Tips from the template
- Do it in the order given; notifications last, once you know what is left.
- Unsubscribe rather than delete emails.
- Repeat the short version every quarter.
