Simple Ways to Cut Digital Clutter and Get More Done
We all know the feeling: too many tools, too many tabs, and not enough time. Digital work can get messy fast, but a few small shifts can make a big difference. Here are some productivity hacks that help teams (and individuals) cut through the clutter and get more done.
Automate the Repetitive Stuff
Whether it’s using templates for proposals, auto-generated design specs, or scheduling tools for social posts — automations free up hours each week that can be spent on actual creative problem-solving.
Master the Single Source of Truth
Scattered files = wasted time. Centralizing assets (design libraries, code snippets, docs) in one reliable place means no more hunting for “final_final_v3.”
Tame Your Tabs
Too many tabs kill focus. Try tools like Arc or Workona to group and save sessions, or adopt a simple rule: if you haven’t used a tab in 2 hours, close it.
Async First, Meeting Second
Shifting some updates to async (via Slack, Loom, or Notion) cuts down on unnecessary meetings and helps people focus on deep work. Save real-time calls for brainstorming and decision-making.
The Two-Minute Rule
If a task takes less than two minutes (replying to an email, renaming a file, logging a bug), do it immediately. It keeps tiny tasks from piling up and draining focus later.
