Beginning on Independence Day, I’ve taken steps to reduce the noise in my life. Not the actual airwaves kind of noise, but the distracting and time-sucking digital overload. Maybe you’ll find these two steps helpful in simplifying your life:

  1. Unsubscribe with wild abandon. I’ve reduced my daily inbox tally by at least 20% by unsubscribing to email updates. I rarely found value in them, and it took time to delete these from my inbox.
  2. Radical deletion. If I don’t act on something in my inbox for 10 business days, I delete it. Faced with that knowledge, I make quick judgments about what has value and what doesn’t. (I have just deleted MONTHS worth of online articles that I thought I’d get around to someday. I’ve faced the fact that “someday” isn’t coming anytime soon.)

I’ve declared my independence from some of the digital noise of modern life!
