Many people view the start of a new year as a fresh start. I've decided that it's time to clean up some things for this "fresh start" of a new year. I decided to start with some social media cleaning.
Pandora
Most people have had a pandora account for quite some time now. I don't know a single person who only has listened to one or two stations since they have created their account. During my new year cleaning I went from 32 stations to 10 on pandora. I definitely don't listen to all of the stations I had, and now my account looks so much cleaner.
Pinterest
Who doesn't love pinterest? We all pin things then never look at them again. I am definitely guilty. I had 70 boards and 2,154 pins before I did my cleaning. Post cleaning I ended up with 40 boards and 1,831 pins. I purged boards/pins I never used, pins that had bad links, and pins I pinned multiple times.
Facebook
Facebook friends. They have quite the variety. There are those people you met one time through a friend of a friend, family members, close friends, classmates, etc. After awhile you realize that you don't talk to or care about some of these people. This is when you know it's time for a Facebook clean out. Recently I went through and deleted close to 100 "friends".
Phone
Clean out your phone. If you go through it, I bet you would be surprised how many contacts you don't need, how many old pictures you have, or notes saved that have become useless. I went through and deleted all my messages. In the past year there has been a lot of drama, so it felt good to clear it all and start the new year with a clean slate. I also deleted over 1,000 pictures.
Cleaning out my social media felt nice, it was like a technology cleanse.

That is a great way to start out the New Year! I recently deleted some contacts from my phone as well, and I tend to do Facebook "unfriending" sessions whenever I feel necessary haha. :-)

This is awesome! I never thought to clean out my pandora account. I just went through my whole iTunes library though! And that took hours--I can't imagine how long a social media cleaning would take! But what an awesome way to start fresh :)

This is such a great idea! I do this casually from time to time, but it would be great to really get everything uncluttered.
ReplyDeleteI did the Facebook and phone cleanse yesterday! Someone once told me that if I wanted to find people to defriend on facebook, check the birthdays daily and if you see people there who you don't know well, or don't remember, just delete them!
