welcome back to another minimalism video if you're following along
leave me a comment below and let me know how you're going so far and if you're
new here then welcome my name is Steph I'm currently doing a minimalism series
where I'm going through my whole home and I'm doing a mass declutter it's been
very interesting as so far so if that is something that you are interested in
then please hit that subscribe button down below under this video here and
make sure you tick that notification bell as well so you can follow along
with us and today we are going digital so we're moving away from the physical
items within our home and we're going to go online and start cleaning out
everything on our laptops and/or computers and also our phones as well so
I'm a little bit excited about this one to be honest so I actually have a laptop
and a computer so I'm gonna take you through what I'm doing on my laptop
first and then I'm gonna go do the exact same thing on my computer and then we're
gonna dive into cleaning up our phones as well so let's dig in I've probably
not gotten that much stuff on here to organize I'll probably have to spend a
little bit more time in regards to like the download folder in my trash and all
that kind of stuff with my computer but starting off with an easy thing I'm just
gonna come into my downloads folder I'm gonna highlight all of these and I'm
just gonna move it to my trashcan so downloads are done and then I'm gonna
get rid of these screenshots I take from my desktop whoops there we go so having
a nice clean desktop I do have a little bit more on my actual computer so I'll
have to go through that to make sure I'm not deleting anything but in regards to
my laptop it was just a couple of screenshots now I want to check if
there's actually any software's on here that I don't need that's taking up space
it's actually don't know what this is sometimes I'll actually see that it's a
Apple software that's on there and what you can do is you can actually reduce
the size of it so that it's not taking up space this one I have
no clue what this one is how do I delete it looks like I can't okay so it must be
an app or thing chess not very interested in chess oh here we go so you
can compress it so if it's an Apple related software you can go compress
Citrix any contacts - would I'm just gonna go through this up some software I
actually don't need so I'm gonna make that - trash tell me all your secrets
and small names Kyle trees you yellow leaves okay
that was super quick there wasn't a lot on there so I'm going to comment out and
I'm now going to go through my photos album I'm currently transitioning from
using the photos up on my laptop and computer and instead using Google photos
but I'm just going to go through to see what's actually on this app on the
laptop to see if there's anything that I can delete and then later on I'm gonna
keep working on that whole transition to Google photos so let's go and have a
look I'm just gonna go scroll through and again just see if there's anything
that I can remove let tell me all your secrets and your name
color trees or yellow leaves move me dancing moves you're painted red shake
through
when I get there I'll break in your eyes I lose control
yeah I know
okay so I finished going through all my photos and now I'm going to come and
delete or empty my trash so highlight all of that empty the trash yep good to
go now that that's done I highly recommend you also have a really good
file structure where you save all your documents I use Google Drive and if you
are interested I was thinking about doing a video where I take you through
and show you exactly how I structure out all my files and all my subfolders and
all that kind of jazz so if that's something that you think that you would
be interested in seeing just leave me a comment below and let me know one other
thing that I want to do before we move on to my inbox is I want to reorganize
my favorites up here so let's go into bookmarks bookmark manager so I'm just
gonna go through and delete what I no longer need and just reorganize the
folders a little bit
you must sail English it when you have wheelchair right
there's wicked laughing into bride Sam straight I'm now done with that so I'm
just gonna check down here anything that I don't use I'm just gonna remove from
my duct it's actually don't use that I don't use photos anymore yeah okay just
check trash trash is good to go all right so I think I am happy with that
now we're gonna move on and do emails so that may take me a little while but I
just want to show you a little trick that I use so at the moment I have 384
emails that I have an action or read so anything that comes through that's
really important obviously action as I go but there's a lot of stuff that I'm
subscribed to that I just don't read and I just end up deleting so there's a
website you can go to called unroll dot me now I've set myself up
with a profile and I'm just gonna go through each of these subscriptions that
I have and if I don't want to I'm just simply gonna take this unsubscribe
button so hopefully it won't take me too long to unsubscribe and from everything
but then I'll need to also go back and clean up my inbox which will be fun
okay there's a lot here I didn't realize just how much I
subscribe to
whoo-hoo I am done I just went and unsubscribed from a bunch of stuff so I
just want to keep really really focused in 2019 so the people that I have
remained subscribe to means that yeah just really inspired by them and they're
things that I actually when they send me emails I actually do read and spend the
time reading them so now let's go clean out my 384 emails that's gonna be fun
not I think my plan of attack is I'm just gonna go through and delete
everything that I haven't read and don't need to read or don't need to action so
I'll show you what I mean I went and clicked this which is select
all and then I'm gonna go through and unselect the ones that I want to
actually keep in there and then I'm just gonna hit delete and I'm gonna go
through however many pages there are here and do the exact same thing
I'm sorry
so I've been able to get my inbox down to fifty nine emails which is a really
good it didn't take me as long as what I thought it was gonna take me which was
really good now I just need to go through the emails and just read them if
I want to read them and then follow them away or if I need to action them as well
or some of them I just need to follow away I've already actually read them I
just didn't actually move them from my inbox and that's a good tip there as
well as to make sure that you have a really good filing system set up with
your subfolders within your email so now I'm just gonna go through and do what I
need to do with these I will be back when I'm done I'm gonna clean out my
social tab which is just YouTube notifications and then my promotions tab
as well I don't think there's anything in there that I really need to address
so I'm all done with my email now I ended up also going through all my
subfolders just to see if there was anything in there that I've been
hoarding that I didn't really need because that also takes up space in my
Google account which I purchase memory so I can save all my files and important
documents and all that kind of stuff on there so I did a really good cleaner I'm
actually feeling really really good I love this stuff guys just so you know
well you should've seen me with my paper one the other day that one was stressful
but I'm feeling good about stuff today so let's just go with it anyway I'm
finished with my laptop the fact that I did my Gmail and also my favorites on my
Google Chrome is a good thing because it means I don't have to do that on my
computer so I'm just gonna go downstairs and do my computer now all I really need
to do is go through the Downloads folder have a look at the photos up like I
mentioned before I'm transitioning all my photos over onto Google photos so I'm
just gonna go through that and maybe spend a probably timer timer it for
about 15 minutes and just do a little bit of work on that cleaning it up
because that's just a whole other project that I'm working on so that's in
progress anyway so I'll keep doing that on the side
then I just need to go through the applications which I kind of did the
other day anyway because I'm having issues with my storage on my computer
and then I'm going to get rid of all the trash and then I'm done and then I will
be back and we are going to go over own related stuff so let's keep up the
energy all right we are getting closer to the end done my laptop done my emails
down my computer it's now time to organize and declutter my phone so the
first thing I'm going to do is go through my contacts cuz I don't know
about you but I hardly ever actually use my phone well to call or message people
if that makes sense so in work yes I use my phone all the time I need to call
people and whatnot but outside of work I don't really spend a lot of time on the
phone it's more so via text message and I mostly do that via messenger but I
still use my phone like the message app that you get with your phone every now
and then but it yet it mostly is through facebook Messenger goodness knows this
teenage anyway I'm gonna go through all my contacts delete any old contacts in
there I'm gonna do the same thing with my text messages I'm pretty sure I've
got like text messages in there from years ago that I could definitely do
with a clean out that's for sure and then I'm gonna go through all the photos
that are on my phone as well so I'm gonna delete any of the ones that are
very alike so you know all those selfie shots you know it happens so I'm gonna
go through delete all those and then I'm gonna go through all my apps and just
organize my apps so delete any of the ones that I'm no longer using and then
batch up very similar ones and put them into like a file so for example you know
I've got a folder for books and in books I've got four different apps audible
podcasts iBooks and Kindle same thing for health same thing for organization
and I've got in there so I'm gonna do that and then
we'll come back and touch base and I'll tell you what I'm up to next
noctus carefully when you sail dig much deeper ouch ow all right I am done phone
is nice and clean so now I'm just going to update all of my apps and I'm going
to go plug it into my iTunes and make sure it is backed up and up to date with
any new software and I am done yay so that is digital space and keeping
