Spring cleaning may be an annual tradition for many, but what about decluttering your digital space? Experts say that having a clean virtual world can be just as important for your mental health and productivity, while also helping boost your cybersecurity at a time when hacks, phishing and ransomware attacks are becoming more sophisticated in trying to access your digital data.

Here are some tips they recommend to clean up your digital world. Clare Kumar, who helps both businesses and individuals get organized from Toronto, said the best place to start for those looking to clean up their digital files is to have a strategy.

She admits that it can be overwhelming at first just to get started and having a plan can help. In terms of deleting, she recommends starting with very big files and the obvious ones that you really don’t need just to get the ball rolling, then moving on to the more nuanced ones that might require more thinking.

She also suggests inversing the deleting process and highlighting what you’d like to keep instead, so “you don’t have to worry so much about the rest.” Read more: How much longer will we be able to buy digital downloads of songs?
