#PhoneCleanse 101

With summer just around the corner, we can all take advantage of the opportunity to be outside and enjoy an electronic cleanse. Most of our mobile phones are full of unnecessary text messages, pictures, and social media accounts that we no longer actively follow. If this is you, here’s a quick run-down on how to get rid of the old to create space for the new.

Delete Old Pictures

From capturing New Year’s Eve celebrations and birthday parties to brunches, you may have a lot of pictures taking up valuable space in your phone’s memory. Now is the perfect time to delete them or transfer them to another storage deviceto make space on your phone for new memories. 

Tie Up Loose Threads  

Yes, ladies, it is perfectly fine to delete your old text messages. Hoarding messages from exes, former friends, or preserving conversations from over a year ago isn’t worth it. Delete, delete, and delete some more to refresh your inbox. 

Clean Up Your Feed (IG) 

Sometimes we continue following accounts that no longer serve us. With the season of reenergizing just around the corner, it will be liberating to clean up your feed and unfollow dated accounts. You’ll have fewer pages to scroll past, wondering “Why am I following them, again?” Soon, you’ll only give attention to things that feed your soul. 

By taking these steps, I guarantee that you’ll instantly feel lighter, have more memory on your phone, and clear unnecessary baggage. 

P.S. While you’re at it, wipe down your cell phone with a cleaning product to get rid of makeup and bacteria. (It happens to us all.)
