We live in an age in which it is hardly imaginable to live without internet. The life of many people is mainly digital. Sending voice messages, text messages, pictures and videos to many people at the same time, there is excessive communication and on video platforms people consume more than average. “Only one more video”, which was suggested at the end of another video on Youtube, many unseen videos from subscribed channels, endless swiping on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and many more time consuming media, but also on the devices themselves accumulates a lot of data garbage. So it can happen that a person makes about 5 selfies per day, which is more than 1.800 pictures per year and here are not even the normal photos and videos included. We have been following many subscribed channels on video platforms and social networks for years, but maybe it is from a time when we thought it was funny and we have grown up and only watch it because it appears in the timeline or we get a push message. Some things even bother us or we are not really interested in following someone or reading messages from people we barely know and it is all just taking time.

It is time to fight the time wasters and let us clean up properly!

What can be done in this challenge?

Everything that has to do with digital decluttering, like:

Delete unnecessary contacts from your phone book
Unsubscribe subscribed channels
Unfollow followed channels
Unfriend Friends on social media platforms (there might be a lot of people you do not even know)
Delete old emails and other messages (Whatsapp even allows you to delete entire conversations)
Delete pictures and videos (on your device or on social media and video platforms)
Uninstall apps on your smartphone
Declutter tabs and bookmarks in your browser
Delete whole email accounts (Check if your email provider will block your address for new registrations, because it could be used to recover passwords from different websites you might forgot to change your email address on. Most provider block a new registration, but there are still providers out there, which do not have this important security feature.)
Delete social media accounts
Delete accounts from other sites, where you have not been for a very long time
Quit subscriptions of video platforms (Netflix, Youtube Red, Hulu, etc.)
... and much more. Maybe you can get some inspiration of other participants in the utopify forum.
