Marie Kondo on your mobile

Do you have your cell phone as messy as your gayumbo drawer? Do you get messages from apps that you didn't even know you had?

Spring is the perfect time to put a little order in your life and, incidentally, on your smartphone. That's why today we bring you Marie Kondo-style mobile cleaning tricks. Digital minimalism, as the good weather arrives, or how to get rid of what you don't use to make room for the new thing that arrives. Whatever your excuse, follow these 5 steps from start to finish.

1. Free up space

How many cat memes do you need? How many fall GIFs? On the mobile, space is like dignity on a night of drinking, which once lost, is difficult to recover.

So to avoid the point of no return,first upload folders to cholón and prevent WhatsApp from automatically saving in the gallery what the groups send you. Protect your phone from bad jokes and traditional photos... he would never do it. Cache, photos and files are usually the usual suspects and be honest with yourself... 'maybe one day I want to see it again'... THAT WILL EVER HAPPEN.

2. Only ‘beret’ applications (case – mental)

From Fit apps that you only opened on the first day to the London Underground map that makes you very cosmopolitan (although we both know that you prefer to spend the winter in Zafra because you hate the rain), there are a number of apps on your phone that you don't even know how to use. what are they useful for?

Start deleting so that your phone goes faster than your traffic after your morning coffee. We recommend the following exercise: if you didn't open that app last week, it is deleted. Leave only the ones you use, at most, weekly. You will have time and opportunity to download the painting and coloring games and Sudoku again if you really feel like waiting in line at the doctor or the bathroom.

3. Tabs and groupings

Geek recommendation. You should have at most 3 'tabs'

A first with the apps you use daily, without grouping (10 or 11 is “reasonable”).
A second, with the rest of the apps, grouped in folders.
Select the themes and group them into folders, food with food (no, sexual apps don't belong here), sports, finances, office automation,…. Give the coconut a couple of spins so that almost everything can fit into a theme and your fingers will thank you.
A third with those from Android, Apple or whatever you have... they are worthless and you will never consult them.

4. Layers and layers

We are not referring to Ramón García giving the bells but rather to how to prevent your partner or boss from catching your porn or how to show a photo to your colleagues without showing your member or ass being cold.

If your thing is to use “unspeakable applications”, we recommend parallel space, 2account or dual space which, what they do, is create a second “space” where you can duplicate, for example, WhatsApp, Instagram or any application. This way you can have your personal profile and the gulf open at the same time.
If you are one of those who have eighty photos of your body, your member (we are not here to judge the names you want to give them) or photos in front of the mirror with a fucker face, search “hidden photo calculator” applications (they are called that, as is), discreet and no one in their right mind opens a calculator. You are welcome.

In any case, many smartphones allow you to create private galleries so don't be lazy and take a look at the instructions on your phone.

5. Put down your cell phone from time to time

Don't you have enough screen with the 8 or 9 hours of daily work? What if you silence it, use the vibration for something else or put it in “airplane mode” when I 'arrive home'? It will take less than a minute to achieve peace of mind and the most desired desire, to be disconnected.

Give yourself some time to disconnect daily. Feet up or knees on the floor, little sofa, little music and if you have twenty minutes, Heroes recharging mask . Could there be a better plan to end or start the day?

Ninja time

This is already for the mega productivity geeks... but here is the list of hacks compiled from the most reliable sites around the world: forocoches and Reddit.

Turn off ALL notifications
Turn off the app rating request
Hide social networks in the second tab
Turn on the 'do not disturb' type from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m. the next day
'Reading' mode is good for your little eyes
The tb wallpaper in black saves micro-battery on the mobile
Put the mobile time ‘tracker’ in the first tab to see how hooked you are
Google is cool. (Cloud, Maps, Calendar, photos and email better than any of those Apple and Android applications... and it also takes much longer to charge you!)
Within the groupings, sort the applications alphabetically
Use only 1 notes app (Evernote is always good)
Use only 1 meditation app (Calm or Headspace are good)
Use the password manager for passwords
Put the camera on the first tab
Get a background sound app (Brain.fm is pretty cool)
Install Kindle even if you don't read it in bed
Force the first tab to have the apps of the person you would like to be (sports, reading, meditation) rather than who you are (tik tok, porn,...)
Set up the health tracker, good investment of time
Better download intermittent fasting apps than those that count calories if you want to lose weight
Name your mobile phone with a name (other than yours) and change its voice to one that is NOT the default one
Only 1 app to track achievements and routines
