Spring marks the return of longer days, sunnier skies and, of course, spring-cleaning. But while you're scrubbing windows and sorting winter clothes, another, more discreet kind of clutter continues to accumulate almost unnoticed: digital clutter. From overflowing inboxes to unused apps and browser tabs left open... it's time to sort out those smartphones and computers.
Picture the scene. It's Monday morning, you switch on your computer to see 47 notifications pop up, 1,248 unread emails cluttering your inbox, 15 browser tabs still open from the previous week, and your phone is already buzzing with an avalanche of reminders and messages. Nothing alarming, on the surface. But this incessant flow of information is as much a blight on our day-to-day lives as it is on our devices.
