Course Syllabus
The Hidden Cost of Digital Clutter
You have 2,500 photos on your phone (a third are duplicates or blurry). Your inbox has 14,000 unread emails. You’re paying for 6 app subscriptions you forgot about. You have accounts on 100+ websites — most with the same weak password.
This isn’t just messy. It’s costing you time (searching for files), money ($200-500/year in unused subscriptions), and security (every dormant account is a potential breach point). Digital clutter creates a low-grade stress that follows you everywhere your devices go.
AI makes the cleanup realistic. Instead of manually sorting 10,000 files, AI categorizes them in minutes. Instead of scrolling through 2,500 photos, AI finds the duplicates and blurry shots for you. Instead of trying to remember every account, AI helps you find and close the ones you don’t need.
What You’ll Learn

- Apps: Audit subscriptions, remove unused apps, reclaim storage and money

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a full digital declutter take?
The initial cleanup takes a weekend (4-6 hours total). This course breaks it into manageable sessions — one area per lesson. AI tools handle the bulk work (finding duplicates, sorting emails), so most of your time is spent making decisions, not searching.
Will I lose important files or photos?
No. Every lesson teaches a review-before-delete approach. AI identifies candidates for deletion, but you make every final decision. We also cover backup strategies before any major cleanup.
Do I need to buy any tools or apps?
Most tools covered have free tiers that handle personal use. The course focuses on free and built-in options (Gmail features, Google Photos, Apple Photos) with premium alternatives mentioned for those who want more power.
What if my digital clutter comes back?
The final lesson builds a maintenance system — weekly 10-minute routines and monthly checkups that prevent re-accumulation. The goal isn't a one-time cleanup but a sustainable system.
