Spring cleaning (tech edition)
Plus, my latest fixations
Hello, darlings!
If you’re receiving this email, it’s because you were already subscribed to Rebellious Systems via Substack. If you no longer want to hang with me in your inbox, I will gracefully invite you to unsubscribe — no hard feelings!
I recently moved away from Substack to Buttondown for my newsletter. Truthfully, the more Substack becomes a “regular” social media channel, the less interested I am in being on the platform.
I’ve been contemplating leaving Substack for the last 2 years or so and finally decided it was time to make the switch in a spur-of-the-moment, dinnertime Diet Coke haze. I cannot handle my caffeine lol.
Anyhoo, I’m looking forward to this Buttondown era and all the new energy it’ll bring to this newsletter. I don’t have a comment section anymore (for now) but I’d still love to hear from you! Just reply to this email with all your ~thoughts and feels~
P.S. My post archive has also been migrated over to Buttondown. You can find old Substack posts here: https://buttondown.com/typeccreative/archive/

SPRING CLEANING YOUR TECH
I mentioned in last week’s newsletter that I’m in the process of moving. It has come with some (forced) Spring cleaning/decluttering as I decide what’s coming back with me to the Sunshine State. While it would be easier to just shove everything I own into a bag and deal with the mess later, there’s something super satisfying about lightening the load. And it’s made me want to do some decluttering in other areas too.
Here are some simple ways you can declutter your tech over the next few weeks:
Empty your downloads folder. Drag anything you’ve had to reference often into a “To file” folder and delete the rest.
Archive all the newsletters in your inbox you haven’t read. Seriously. If you really need that info, you can find it again later; if you haven’t read it yet, it’s not a priority right now, and that’s okay.
