WEEK 1 OF THE 52-WEEK DIGITAL DECLUTTER SERIES
Employees spend more than 1/5th (nearly 20%) of their time searching for the information they need to do their jobs. According to a 2024 report by McKinsey, this translates to roughly 1.8 hours per day wasted hunting for data across emails, chats, and shared drives.
If your inbox stresses you out before you’ve even had your first sip of coffee… you’re not alone.
Most of us didn’t grow up with smartphones, cloud storage, or five email addresses — but somehow, we’re now responsible for keeping all of it under control. For midlife women juggling work, family, health, and maybe even caregiving, the digital chaos can feel like one more thing that’s just… too much.
A Clearer Digital Life—One Week at a Time
Feeling overwhelmed by digital clutter isn’t a character flaw — it’s a natural outcome of years of piling on tasks and tech. That’s why I created the ClearMind 52-Week Digital Declutter Plan — a calm, one-step-at-a-time approach to finally getting your digital life under control.
What to Expect Each Week
Every week, I’ll publish a short post with one small focus area — like email, apps, files, or notifications. These aren’t deep dives or digital overhauls. Just simple, steady steps to help you clear space and feel more in control.
Most of the time, the action will take 5 to 10 minutes — something you can do while waiting in line, sipping coffee, or winding down before bed. You don’t need to sign up or commit — just come as you are and do what you can.
A Realistic Way to Reset (No Perfection Needed)
This isn’t about chasing Inbox Zero or having a color-coded calendar by next week. It’s about realistic progress in small, doable chunks.
Think of it like changing your health habits — you didn’t gain 30 pounds overnight, and you’re not going to declutter 10 years of digital mess in one sitting either. But week by week, shift by shift, you’ll start to feel lighter, clearer, and more in control.

💬 This Week’s Win (From Me)
I finally cleared out my “check later” folder in 15 minutes — something I’ve been avoiding for months. That tiny action gave me so much mental relief, and reminded me how much progress starts with small steps.Week 1 FAQ: Digital Declutter Edition
❓What if I miss a week? Will I fall behind?
Nope. Each week stands on its own — skip around, come back later, or start wherever you are. There’s no “behind” here.
❓Do I need to download anything to start?
Nope — this blog series is free to follow. But if you want a printable to help you begin, the Starter Guide is a great first step.
❓Will I need tech skills for this?
Not at all. This challenge is designed for all levels, from low-tech to tech-comfy. You’ll only need basic digital skills (like opening email or saving a file).
❓What if I want to do more each week?
You can! Each prompt is a springboard — if you have the energy to keep going, go for it. But no pressure. The magic is in consistency, not intensity.
