COMPUTER & DIGITAL DECLUTTERING

Just as our homes get cluttered from time to time, over the years our computers and digital life accumulate files, contacts, emails, photos, video and music. But unlike our homes which only have a few rooms, computers and phones can have hundreds of disordered folders and random locations to which important (and unimportant) items have been saved.

Our thoughtful nerds have been removing their own digital clutter for years and now, in this stay-safe-at-home era we can do the same for you via remote control of your technology! Here are all the great things we can do:

Our digital computer decluttering goal is achieved first by making everything easily findable and logically organized. Start by discussing your specific situation and goals over Zoom or other screen sharing technology.
