This 3 65,
your daily bite of wisdom and wellness.
I am Tan, your guide on this journey.
And today, we're taking a look at minimalism,
but we're gonna be extending this concept of
minimalism.
To our digital spaces.
So come on in friends, get close and
comfortable in our cozy part of the Internet
that I call our podcast home where the
pot of tea is on and hot, and
our topic of discussions are warm and insightful.
So as you pause and kindly take a
few moments with me today.
I want you to go ahead and have
that soothing cup of herbal tea at hand.
Because now we're going to direct our attention
to our question of today.
What is 1 digital decluttering step you can
take today to enhance your mental clarity and
overall well being.
I'm asking you to take a few moments
to reflect on this question.
Considering how organizing your digital space can lead
to greater focus and peace of mind.
We're gonna be exploring this topic together to
see just how we can achieve clarity through
digital decluttering.
While you chew on that, I want to
set the tone for today's exploration of digital
decluttering,
with a simple yet powerful 3 word, quote,
simplify your screens.
Let these 3 words just be a gentle
reminder to embrace the clarity and peace that
comes from an organized digital space.
Now we're gonna go hand and into our
topic of discussion for today from clutter to
clarity,
decluttering your digital space.
Because digital clutter can be just as overwhelming
as physical clutter.
Impacting our mental and our emotional well being.
So go ahead and find that comfortable spot
because we're getting ready to dive on into
how decluttering your digital devices social media,
emails, and apps can lead to greater clarity
and peace of mind.
Alright. Now, let's take a few moments just
a brief moment to understand digital clutter.
When I speak of digital clutter, it refers
to the overwhelming amount of information and distractions
we accumulate on our devices from excessive emails
and apps to social media
notifications,
including digital files.
Just like physical clutter,
digital clutter can lead to stress,
decreased productivity
and mental fatigue.
And all of this affects, not just our
oral health, but our overall health. And you
know when I speak of our oral health.
I'm talking about that stress that leads to
cl, grinding Tmj
issues, gum disease,
and moreover,
the focus and clarity gained from decluttering can
encourage healthier lifestyle choices,
including consistent or hygiene routines. You know, I'm
all about those healthy smiles being a general
dentist. So by integrating digital decluttering into your
routine, you can support your mental emotional and
physical well being, which will ensure a holistic
approach to health.
So
emphasizing this digital minimalism
it leads to a healthier happier you
inside and out, and that's what we're all
about here on 2 on 3 65.
I do have a insightful resource on this
topic,
which is a book. I'm recommending
digital minimalism
choosing a focused life in a noisy world.
The author is Cal Newport.
Again, the title of the book is digital
minimalism
choosing a focused life in a noisy world,
and again, that's by Cal Newport. I chose
this book because it explores how reducing digital
distractions
can lead to a more focused and fulfilling
life.
Just by understanding the impact of digital clutter,
we can take steps to declutter our digital
spaces and enhance our well being.
I am gonna leave a summary of this
book for those of you who are interested
in the book, but just don't have that
time. Our lives are so busy I understand.
So I'm gonna drop that summary
into the blog area of Tanzania
davis dot com. Again, check out that blog
for the summary of this book. Alright?
Now, I wanna offer up some incredible benefits
of decluttering your digital space.
Number 1,
increase productivity.
Fewer distractions will lead to a more focus
and efficient work.
Number 2, reduced stress, a clear digital space
reduces that mental and load and stress associated
with information overload,
and 3 enhanced mental clarity.
Decluttering helped clear your mind, making it easier
to focus on important tasks.
Again, there's another benefit, better time management
less time spent managing digital clutter means more
time for meaningful activities.
And number 5, improved emotional health.
Reducing negative influences from social media and unnecessary
digital noise can boost your mood and overall
emotional health.
And then my 6 1 for you greater
security,
organizing and deleting unnecessary files can improve the
security of your digital devices And if you've
ever been hacked, and I can raise my
hand to that. My Facebook messenger was hacked.
Whoa, that was just mental
anguish mental stress, what the effects that can
have with loved ones
receiving messages that can also hack their accounts
as a result of mine being hacked. So
trust me,
let's declutter these digital spaces. There's so many
benefits.
And just by decluttering your digital space, you
can experience these benefits and achieve greater clarity
and peace of mind.
Now let me offer up some practical steps
to help you declutter your digital space.
You can start by first, clean up your
desktop.
Organize those files into folders and delete or
archive items you no longer need.
Number 2, unsubscribe from unnecessary emails.
You can use tools like un dot me
to unsubscribe from unwanted email lists and create
a system for managing your inbox,
I've tried on my own just to
click that unsubscribe and then to turn around
the next day and see that that same
email sender sent me another message. So try
those tools to help you out. Okay? Enroll
dot me. And there's some other ones. I...
I'm not affiliated with them, but if you
just just to offer you up a resource.
And number 3, limit social media usage,
set time limits for social media apps, and
please un accounts that don't add value to
your life.
Number 4, organize your photos and files.
I've taken time, the painstaking time to do
this, but it works. When you use cloud
storage to backup up important photos and documents
and delete duplicates
or unnecessary files,
when they are organized these files, that means
if you need to retrieve them, you can
find them. It's nothing like meeting a photo,
let's say my license.
And I needed that driver's license and had
I organized it in a folder. I would've
been able to just retrieve it very easily
again,
reducing stress.
Number 5, review and delete apps, regularly review
the apps on your phone, and please delete
those, you no, longer use or need. They're
just taking up space or not just on
your phone, but also in your mind and
in your life. Number 6, use digital tools
wisely.
Utilize productivity tools,
such as Trello, evernote or to do is
to do this is my favorite 1. Again,
I'm not affiliated with any of these. These
are just some suggestions,
use these tools to organize tasks and projects.
Just by following these steps, you can create
a more organized and efficient digital environment, and
that's what we're all about... Anything that will
enhance our overall holistic well being here on
Chew on this 3 65.
At this point, I wanna ask you my

Before we go on any further, I have
an inspirational quote for you to reflect on.
This 1 is by Joshua Becker.
The quote reads the first step in crafting
the life you want is to get rid
of everything you don't.
Again, it's by Joshua Becker, and it reads
