For years I had like 80 apps scattered across 5 pages on my iPhone. I thought I needed everything within one tap. Then about 6 months ago my phone felt like it was dying, battery draining in 4 hours. I deleted everything except messaging, maps, music, camera, calendar, a notes app, calculator, and my banking app. That's it. The rest I just search for or use the app library. Now I never swipe through pages looking for stuff. It's weirdly freeing but I still get anxiety about deleting something I might need later. Has anyone else gone super minimal on their home screen and regretted it or stuck with it?
I was working on a home renovation plan last spring and had like 40 tabs open for paint colors, tile options, and contractor reviews. My laptop froze three times while I was trying to compare a $5 paint sample at the Sherwin-Williams store in Akron. It hit me that I was hoarding all these digital choices instead of just picking one and moving forward. Has anyone else noticed their desktop gets cluttered with project research that never gets used?
I finally admitted my download folder with 3,000 files was the problem when I had to re-download a receipt I already had because I couldn't find it after clicking through 47 screenshots first - has anyone else just given up and searched the whole drive instead?
Had 4,732 bookmarks saved since 2016 - never looked at 90% of them. Wasted $15 on a bookmark management app that just made things worse, ended up deleting everything manually. Anyone else holding onto old links they know they'll never open?
I kept 50 gigs of phone pics in Google Drive until I realized they were compressing my 4K videos without telling me. Switched to a 2TB Samsung T7 and now I sleep better knowing nothing gets lost or downscaled. Anyone else ditch cloud for physical drives?
