Overheard a kid at Starbucks tell his mom he 'archived' his homework folder

It made me realize how much we treat digital decluttering like a life hack when really I just need to delete 47 duplicate photos from my cloud storage instead of pretending I'll sort them later, anyone else have a random comment totally reframe their approach to inbox zero?

Oh man that hits hard. What finally worked for me was just forcing myself to spend 15 minutes a day deleting stuff. I set a timer and everything. After a week I had cleared out almost all my old photos and downloads without it feeling like a huge chore. The key was not trying to organize anything just delete. If I hadn't looked at it in six months it got trashed. Now my inbox is actually manageable and I don't have that nagging feeling every time I open my phone.

@shane_wilson but what if you actually need that random screenshot from 2018 though?
