Pictures On Your Phone

About this episode

Avery Cundill discusses the clutter of photos on phones and offers a systematic approach to decluttering both digital and physical images.

I dive into an often-overlooked clutter hotspot: photos, both digital and physical. I start by talking about the overwhelming number of images we keep on our phones—duplicates, random menus, travel shots, and multiple versions of the same scene—and explain how freeing it can be to systematically delete what we don’t need, starting from the oldest photos and working forward. Then I welcome my friend Lori York , who’s struggling with boxes of old paper photos. I walk her (and listeners) through a simple, realistic system: gather  all  the photos, claim a dedicated workspace, and go through each picture one by one, deciding whether to keep or toss. Instead of fiddly albums, I recommend photo boxes organized by people, trips, or themes. Throughout, I emphasize that decluttering photos isn’t erasing memories—it’s honoring the ones that truly matter. Do you need a more personalized decluttering touch? Avery offers a one on one consultation where you can go over your specific decluttering needs and start the road to a happier clutter free life.
