Digital Life Cleanup
Estimated time: 2-4 weeks
Your digital life has probably accumulated years of unused accounts, weak
passwords, scattered files, unmanaged subscriptions, and privacy vulnerabilities.
This workflow systematically cleans, secures, and organizes your digital
presence across five phases: account auditing, privacy hardening, data backup,
file organization, and automation.
The result is a digital life that is secure, organized, and largely
self-maintaining -- freeing you from the low-grade anxiety of digital disorder.
By the end of this workflow you will have: an audited and cleaned account
inventory, hardened privacy and security, comprehensive data backups,
organized files and photos, and automated systems that maintain order going
forward.

Prerequisites
Before starting this workflow, ensure:
- Access to your primary email accounts (this is the hub of your digital identity)
- A few hours spread across several days (not a single marathon session)
- Willingness to close unused accounts and unsubscribe aggressively
- A password manager (or willingness to adopt one -- this is non-negotiable)
- Basic comfort with technology settings and account management
Steps
Step 1: Audit Your Accounts (uses: privacy-analyzer)
conduct a comprehensive audit of all online
accounts. Most people have 100-300+ online accounts.
- Input: primary email addresses, Known social media, financial, and shopping accounts, Current password management approach (memory, browser, sticky notes, manager)
- Output: Complete list of all discovered accounts by category, Accounts found in data breaches with action items, All paid subscriptions with monthly/annual costs
- Key focus: Account discovery: search email for "welcome," "verify," "account created" messages
Step 2: Harden Your Privacy and Security (uses: privacy-analyzer)
lock down your digital security. This is
the most important step -- one breach can cascade into identity theft,
financial loss, and months of recovery.
- Input:
account-inventory from Step 1 (accounts to secure), from Step 1 (compromised credentials to change), Current password management approach
