A little less digital clutter starts with better file habits
A calmer digital workspace is less about a perfect system and more about a few habits that are easy to keep.

Downloads folders and camera rolls tend to grow quietly. A duplicate image here, an old document there, and soon the file you actually need takes longer to find than it should.
A practical cleanup does not require an elaborate filing system. Start with a short, recurring review: remove files you no longer need, give important documents descriptive names, and group current work into a small number of recognizable folders.
When sharing or submitting files, prepare a copy for the task rather than repeatedly editing the only original. Resize images to the dimensions a form requests, combine related pages into one document when appropriate, and check the final result before sending it.
The goal is not digital minimalism for its own sake. It is to spend less attention searching and more attention on the reason you created the file in the first place.
