How To Declutter Your Digital Life On Medium

it’s not easy and feels scary, but it makes you a happier writer — less is more in our digital world

Sometimes it’s hard to keep up on Medium, isn’t it?

So many inspiring writers and so little time. I wish there were more hours or I could figure out a way to need less sleep.

Recently I noticed my reading list was filled to the brim. I had saved over 500 stories — to read, re-read or link to them in a story one day.

Since we’re in the process of moving to an island in order to start our nomadic life, every day I’m packing boxes and tidying up around the big apartment that has almost destroyed my marriage.

Clutter can weigh us down in so many ways. Our goal is to get rid of all the ‘stuff’ that doesn’t provide any value or we don’t need.

Clutter increases mental overload, reduces our working memory and our ability to focus.

A few days ago, I realized there was one crucial part of my daily life I forgot to declutter — my digital life on Medium.

So, I decided to take the time to tidy up my reading list first. That list is from 8 months on Medium.
