Welcome to Day 28!

Today’s decluttering task is…COMPUTER FILES & EMAILS.

Today is a big one! I know that you could probably spend a day (or three) on this task, so set yourself a time limit and tackle just one area. It is so easy for emails and general computer file clutter build up. My email inbox is constantly overflowing, I think I could honestly spend a week clearing out files and emails and still have more work to do!

Go through and set up some folders for regular topics, think about a system in the way you organise things. Work out a bit of a mind map of how you’d like things organised. Segment photos by date and give things meaningful names. Work out categories that seem logical for the types of information you have. You might segment finances and then further down to taxes, receipts, budgets, bills etc. Home might be segmented into renovations, food, design etc. The system will depend on your lifestyle and interests.
