I know it's hard for everyone to do, but it's time to stop being a hoarder. It's time to delete those embarrassing photos of yourself from over a decade ago. The key is, less is more.
1. Delete your emails.
Why do you have 23,000 emails? You've probably missed some very important emails from your boss or your professor. Take the time to sit down and delete your junk mail and regular mail, and empty your trash. Empty mailbox = happy and successful life.
2. Transfer your photos.
Do you really need that blurry photo of you from 2013? Go through and delete photos from your camera roll that you know you will never need. Don't keep a photo because your friend would think it's funny. Then, text your friend that picture and delete it.
If you really need some photos, put them on your computer and put it on a flash drive. You don't need all the 2,000 photos of your trip to NYC on your phone. You're probably going to look at them maybe once after the day you took them, and you only need to keep six of them, at most.
3. Delete text messages.
You don't need to keep messages unless they're from someone special like your family. Why are you keeping that text from your dentist who was confirming your appointment six months ago? If you still want your texts, fine, but go through your attachments with each contact.
The photos and GIFs you send each other stay on your phone and take up a lot of space. I mean, you really don't need that GIF of John Cena taking up valuable space on your phone.
4. Delete your apps and reinstall them.
I don't know the reason behind it, but you can do this once in a while. It saves space, which ultimately saves your battery.
5. Remove old, unused apps.
The iPhone comes with certain apps, which you probably don't need. Go through and see what apps you actually use. If you don't use the calendar app on your phone, get rid of it! Do you really need Temple Run on your phone still? Come on, it's 2020. I think it's time to get rid of it.
I know it's sometimes really difficult to part ways with photos, texts, and apps, but it's better to have less of the frivolous items on your phone and make room for the important things you actually need space for. Less is more.
