You are a hoarder, and it?s a problem.
You probably hide it well ? there are no rooms with old newspapers stacked to the ceilings, and no freezers full of dead cats ? but your phone?s home screen, which is quickly and eerily becoming one of the most telling expressions of one?s true personality, gives you away. It?s a mess, and so are you. I know because I was one too.
But it doesn?t have to be this way. In fact, there?s an easy trick that can improve your smartphone enormously. It?s easy to do and remarkably painless: delete your apps. All of them. Every last one that you?re allowed to delete.
This sounds crazier than it actually is, so hear me out.

Interesting article.
I didn't get into any social media site, so that part was not a problem for me. I habitually ignore many emails anyway. My phone goes off more for Android Central than anything else...lol

I tend to factory reset from time to time so this helps me keep the clutter down. I find that there will be apps installed that haven't been opened in months. Most I download to try or see the app reviewed on the AC Blog. Either way, it's a good idea to get rid of apps that are no longer in use, and this is a good way to do it.

No problem here.... I've always highly limited installed apps to only those I actually need/use (on all of my Android devices, even my PC's too!); about a dozen max, often less. OCD does have its advantages!
