Random - My guide to electronic decluttering

In case anyone is a hoarder of information like me try these tips.

1. Email - Sort by date and delete everything older than a certain age. I find 2 years for random stuff and 6 years for important stuff works fine.
   
2. Email - Unsubscribe from any mailing lists that aren't important or you don't read. Wine and travel mailing lists are my favourites but if you don't read every time you can probably do without it.
   
3. Email - Delete any contacts that you don't need. I mean go through your contacts and delete everything from the safe list except for the ten or so people most of us email on a regular basis. Anything inbound can be added back to the safe list when it comes back in.
   
4. Email -Switch any newsgroups to daily or weekly summary rather than individual emails
   
5. Browser - Delete any bookmarks that aren't on your quick list. If you actually need them the sites can be found again.
   
6. Facebook etc - Switch of any email alerts that you don't really really need.
   
7. Phone - Delete any contacts that you don't use. You aren't going to get back in touch with that venture capital agent from your business scheme 3 years ago, besides he has probably lost his job by now. Anyone whose identity is in doubt when you look through your phonebook must go.
   
8. Phone - Reply "stop" to any text alerts that you don't really need.
9. If that's not enough cull some Facebook friends and people you follow on twitter.
10. Run a merge on your email and phone address books to tidy up any duplicates

If you are like me you will feel a lot better after you have done this. Please add any more in the comment section
