Scott and SadieIf A.I. is so amazing at doing human jobs, we have some SPRING CLEANING for it to do! We’ll even give the robots a choice: They can start by deep cleaning the toilet, or decluttering our inboxes.
There’s a new survey out on digital clutter . . . and it found that the average American has:
1,044 unread emails.
12 unread text messages.
17 unread social media notifications.
11 unread app messages.
15 open browser tabs.
9 unused smartphone apps.
And 2 pending software updates.
And to be clear, that’s UNREAD emails and text messages . . . not UNANSWERED. Which is different . . . kind of. Either way, it’s clearly not something we have the time or energy for.
Not everyone can handle leaving something unseen. 63% of people say they currently have ZERO unread texts . . . and 54% say they have no unread social media notifications.
Email is harder. 32% of people claim they have zero unread emails.
Here are a few more stats: 77% of people feel digital clutter negatively impacts their life . . . 50% say they get frustrated because digital clutter makes it difficult to find apps and files they need . . .
And 31% of people have paid to upgrade a device to one with more storage because of digital clutter. That’s relatable. We could spend days deleting junk that’s wasting space, OR we could just buy new devices with more room.
