You’re gonna need to set aside some dedicated time for this. Putting this off will only make this work.
First, unsubscribe from marketing emails, or use filters and folders in Gmail (if that’s your email) to remove stuff from cluttering up your email inbox.
Second, dedicate some time each morning to either act on your email or snooze on it until a particular time. I use fantastical and also things and create todos from them.
For stuff that’s shunted out of your inbox, review those periodically by subject. Do a deeper dive if something catches your eye.
You’ll get back to inbox zero.
Also, dedicate some time to curating your todo list. Don’t overschedule yourself, you’ll find a happy medium. Act on stuff instead of letting it pile up. It’ll make you feel good.
Next up, go through your password manager and figure out what accounts you really need, and either cancel the account or stick with it.
Also, look at your bank statement and see what you get auto-billed for. Cancel it if you don’t need it.
I also have a program on my Mac, hazel, that I use for tending to my desktop and download folders. If something is more than a day old, move it to a dedicated folder by file type.
Also, dedicate time to tending to your bookmarks and other digital assets.
