Pruning in the garden teaches us to look at our rose bush as the entire plant, not a cluster of branches. We have to decide which branches we really need to allow the plant to thrive. Then set about removing the rest. It creates space for another year of fresh growth and beauty.
Take the lesson of pruning to your phone.
Take a look at your phone as something to support your life, not be your life. How will simplifying your phone improve your life? How might you regain those many unconscious hours lost to check a feed? What may your day look like with fewer distractions?
Be ruthless with notifications. Respond to only those things that are truly supportive of your life. Cluster time constructively. If all your truly need from your phone is to be able to take a picture, use it for calls, make a shopping list, navigate in the car, and send and receive the occasional text, then pick up your pruning shears.
