# How to declutter your digital environment

If your digital environment is cluttered, so is your mind.

<br>

You may find yourself constantly:

<br>

\- Toggling between tabs

\- Hopping in + out of Zoom meeting

\- Juggling Slack convos.&#x20;

<br>

All of these are distractions. And we’re working like this every day, without much thought.&#x20;

<br>

Once the day’s over, we feel exhausted… but also like we haven’t accomplished much.&#x20;

<br>

That’s because multitasking isn’t a sustainable work strategy.&#x20;

<br>

The decision fatigue of task-switching takes a huge toll on your brain. In fact, Dr. Clifford Nass, a Stanford psychology professor, says it’s impossible for us to actually perform multiple tasks simultaneously. <br>

Unfortunately, constant multitasking + task-switching is basically the norm in the workplace.&#x20;

<br>

So, it’s up to us to take matters into our own hands & craft our own hygienic work environments.
