How to Start a Digital Declutter for Your Phone in Just 15 Minutes

Tidy the Clutter

If your phone has started to feel like a second junk drawer—overflowing with apps you barely touch, endless notifications, and digital chaos that leaves your brain buzzing—you’re not alone. In today’s episode of Tidy the Clutter, Mariah opens up about the quiet overwhelm that digital clutter brings, especially when life is already stretching you thin. Together, we’ll take a gentle, doable path through a five-step reset, all designed for real life (and yes, even if you only have 15 minutes and a lukewarm cup of coffee to spare).

Forget the pressure to start from scratch or chase digital perfection—instead, you’ll hear how to start with just one screen, build simple folders that make sense for your world, quiet the notification noise, and create tiny momentum with micro-habits that add up. Plus, Mariah reminds us: You’re not behind, and you definitely don’t need to delete your digital life to feel more in control. So grab your phone, take a breath, and let’s turn it back into a tool that supports you, not stresses you out.
