Reflection on Last Week’s Habit:

Declutter Your Digital Space

Last week’s focus on digital decluttering brought a fresh sense of clarity. Cleaning up files, organizing cloud storage, and taming my inbox helped me feel more in control. By taking small steps like tidying up daily and setting aside time for cleanup, I noticed better focus and less mental clutter throughout the week.
