I deleted 14 apps from my phone in one afternoon. I've only missed two of them.

I'd been telling myself I needed all of them for "productivity." Then my phone storage filled up and I had to choose. Fourteen apps gone in an hour. A month later I've reinstalled exactly two. The other twelve were just occupying space and attention for no reason.

The apps weren't bad. I was confusing having tools with having a system.

For those who've done a phone purge: what made you finally decide? And the harder question which app on your phone right now are you keeping for a version of yourself that doesn't exist?
