How to declutter your iPhone
How to declutter your iPhone.
I know, it might seem like a strange thing to need to declutter but stick with me.
When my boys were really little, I suffered greatly from overwhelm, anxiety, stress and just feeling like I couldn't get on top of things.
I know I'm not the only one who feels or has felt this way so I try and share everything that has helped me, in the hope that it might just help you.
A few years ago, I decluttered my iPhone.
Why?

How many different things can you see?
Yeah you think I'm mad don't you?
It would take you forever to count them all right?
How do you feel about it?
Even if it's 'nothing' to you, our poor little brains are having to process every tiny thing and decide if it's relevant to us or not.
The same goes for our phones (which we check 8 times an hour!!!).
All those apps and flashing alerts.
On the left of the photo above is my husband's stressed-out, alert-filled phone right now (he doesn't quite agree with my assessment though).
On the right is mine... which makes you feel calmer?
I'm going to guess that you said the second one.
I've converted my phone to look like... well a phone.
All I have on the home screen is the phone, messages, WhatsApp (cause that's how I talk to my sister in Canada) and a folder with ALL my apps.
I shared a little how to declutter your iPhone tutorial video and why this makes such a difference to my mental state in the Facebook group.
If you could do with a little less clutter and want an easy place to start then here it is...
