Clean Out Your (Digital) Closet

[AARPMaggie]

Clutter is stressful, whether it’s a cluttered physical environment or a digital one. As we age, research shows, clutter jacks up our stress level even more, while reducing our overall happiness. Because we spend so much time looking at our phones, a jam-packed device can seem overwhelming, adding stress and frustration to your life. By removing unnecessary items from your device and reorganizing what’s left, you can help yourself better focus on the things that are important.
