Digital decluttering may sound like a fancy term, but it simply means reducing digital noise to create a cleaner, calmer, and more focused digital environment. Many people want to reduce their screen time, but without proper tools or the right environment, they often fail to do so.
In a world where 5.17 billion people scroll through social media every day, which represents 64% of the world's population. The average daily time on social media is 2 hours and 28 minutes per user. Digital overload has become a universal issue. In the US, 72.3% of adults reported using social media daily in 2025.
If someone spends an average of 2 hours and 28 minutes on social media every day, then after one year, it adds up to almost 900 hours. In contrast, 800 hours of coursework are needed to complete a master's degree.

Our phones are now cluttered with social media notifications and endless content recommendations. Amid this digital chaos, Kindle emerges as a simple, focused companion device. By consolidating your reading and minimising distractions, you can reclaim both space and peace of mind in your digital life.
It is the best tool for digital decluttering and is built only for reading. Using it at night in bed instead of your phone is healthier and better for sleep. It consolidates books, PDFs, and even audiobooks into a single, distraction-free device.
It is also the perfect travel companion. Whether you are on a long train or bus journey, you can carry your Kindle easily and store thousands of books, as storage is never an issue.
Additionally, it has a built-in annotation feature that allows you to take notes without pen and paper. The Kindle also offers extensive reading customisation options, such as adjustable screen brightness, font size, typeface, line spacing, and margins.
Readers can strengthen their reading habits by tracking their progress on the Kindle, which helps them gradually improve over time. The cost per book is much cheaper than physical books. And it has its own digital library where anyone can buy single books, and it also offers a Kindle Unlimited subscription plan. A Kindle Unlimited (KU) subscription provides unlimited access to millions of ebooks, audiobooks, and magazines for a monthly fee, essentially a "Netflix for books." This model is perfect for bookworms.
These devices also have excellent battery life, lasting a week on a single charge. Amazon claims that a Kindle can run for up to 6 weeks with half an hour of reading per day.
