The 30-Minute Digital Cleanup

You are almost certainly paying for something right now that you have entirely forgotten about.

Not one thing. Usually several. A trial that converted. A service used twice in 2022. A second cloud storage plan running alongside the first because two “storage full” prompts landed years apart.

Chapter 3 is a twenty-minute exercise to find every one of them. For most people it finds between one and six, which pays for this book several times over in the first month, and then keeps paying every month after that.

Thirty minutes, not a weekend

Most decluttering advice assumes you have a free Saturday. This does not. Chapter 2 is the entire book condensed into thirty minutes: five tasks, a clock on each. If you read nothing else, you will still have stopped the money, quietened the inbox, and got your phone working again.

Everything after that is optional, self-contained, and has its own time estimate at the top. Skip freely.

What is inside

• The money you are not choosing to spend: the five places subscriptions hide, and why searching your statement for the product name never finds them
• The inbox: bulk deleting properly, and the three rules that keep it quiet
• Accounts you forgot you had: how to find all of them, and how to close the ones that matter
• The phone: where the space actually went, and the one setting that stops it filling up again
• Passwords, without the lecture: three levels, pick the one you will actually finish
• Your data, out there: data brokers, and an honest account of what is worth your time
• The one thing worth adding: because a cleanup that loses your photos is not a cleanup
• Ten minutes a month: the part that decides whether any of it lasted

The details

• 13 chapters, around 8,100 words, 50 pages
• A checklist at the end of every chapter
• PDF and EPUB, both included: the EPUB reflows to your font size and works with read-aloud
• Instant download. No account needed to buy. Nothing ships

Written on one rule: do not try to do this perfectly. Perfect is the reason your inbox has four thousand emails in it. Everything here is built around good enough, because good enough actually gets done.
