I have downloaded many apps, some of which I rarely open. How should I manage them?

Hello, question asker!

I hear you! We live in a world of endless information, and it can be tough to keep up. It's like you're trying to fit everything into a tiny jar!

I totally get where you're coming from. We live in a world where there's so much information out there, and we're exposed to it all day, every day. Some of it we actively seek out, while some comes to us passively. But, as we all know, human energy is limited, and no matter how hard we try, we can't seem to do everything.

I totally get where you're coming from and I can relate to your situation. We're living in a golden age of information, and we're exposed to so much of it every day. Some of it we actively seek out, while some comes to us passively. But, as they say, human energy is limited! No matter how good you are at it, it seems that you're never satisfied.

"I downloaded WeChat Reading, Instant, Knowledge Planet, Zhihu, Douban, Jianshu, Himalaya, and Yi Xinli." At first glance, it might seem like a simple app management issue. But when you really think about it, it's really about time management. Once you shift your perspective, the problem becomes a lot clearer and simpler. Let's explore some of the ways you can tackle it.

▪ Make a list

▪ Make a list

I totally get it!

The OP has already taken the first step by listing some of the apps on their phone, but there's still more we can do to make this as comprehensive as possible. Let's take a moment to list all the apps on our phone and then see how long and how often each one is used.

The OP has already taken the first step by listing the apps on their phone, but there's still more to be done. It would be really helpful to see how long each app is used for and how often.

For example, think about which ones you use every day, how much time you spend using them every day, which ones you only use a few times a month, and which ones you haven't used for three months or even a year.

It's also a good idea to think about what these apps are trying to do and if some of them are doing the same thing. If you find that some of them are doing the same thing, it's probably best to keep only one or two.

Let's talk about 断舍离!

Let's talk about 断舍离!

"I don't often open other apps, but I just can't bring myself to delete them." "Am I really insecure?"

If you haven't used it for more than three months, you can go right ahead and delete it. You can also delete software that you feel has little meaning and consumes your energy and time. You may feel a little reluctant, but you may as well think, "If I delete it, can I download it again?" "Will I really use it?"

It's okay! The most likely reason is not a sense of insecurity, but an "unfinished complex." Because it is not being used, it feels like the task is unfinished, and the feeling of not finishing it will keep nagging at you, even though you don't actually need it.

It's okay to delete them. You'll feel so much better after clearing up a few! It's like you've freed up a lot of time and space.

It's totally okay to delete them! You'll feel so much better after deleting a few, like you've freed up a lot of time and space.

Time schedule:

Let's talk about time schedules!

It's a great idea to make a time schedule for your daily work or spare time, and then prioritize it according to importance and urgency. Paying attention to the things that are most important is really helpful!

Hey there! We all have those moments when we're trying to fit everything into our day, right? Well, I've got a little tip for you! Make the most of those little pockets of time that pop up throughout the day. For instance, you can catch up on articles and browse pages on Jianshu and Douban for just 3-5 minutes. Perfect for when you're waiting for the bus or in the bathroom!

And don't forget, some apps you might only use once a week or once a month, like WeChat Reading. You can save it for a regular time, like a weekend evening, and so on.

Furthermore, some may only be used once a week or once a month, such as WeChat Reading. No problem! You can save it for a regular time, such as a weekend evening, etc.

I promise you, if you learn to make good use of your time, you'll never have a problem with too many apps!

I really hope my answer helps the original poster! Warm regards!

Good day, my name is Strawberry.

From the question and the way it is phrased, it seems that this is a common issue. It is not only about downloading apps, but also about some videos or photos saved on the phone. At the time the app was downloaded, the user had their own ideas about how it would be used. For example, the questioner downloaded more software that can be used for learning. Among the many apps, the questioner does not always open and use them, but they do not want to delete them.

It can be reasonably assumed that these apps have some significance for the questioner. When they were initially downloaded, there was something about them that attracted the questioner's attention. The questioner then made the decision to save these apps for later use, even though they were not currently needed.

Please describe your current mindset and how you plan to overcome feelings of insecurity.

1. Effective decluttering

As with our mobile phones, which store a plethora of videos and photos, we often fail to delete items that we no longer require or believe to be of little importance. However, when the storage capacity of our phones is reached, we are forced to delete some of these items. We then proceed to compare them, deleting those that we do not frequently use or that we do not consider to be of significant value. At this juncture, we are able to make an informed decision to let go of these items, as we recognise that when they do not affect us, we can accept their presence even if we do not open them.

"断舍离" is a process of careful selection that is centered on the individual. When making decisions about what to keep and what to delete, individuals make their choices after careful comparison and consideration. This kind of "断舍离" in daily life allows individuals to decide what is more important to them, and to slowly affirm their choices in this behavior.

2. The impact of deleting or not deleting on the individual

The fact that the questioner asked this question indicates that he is someone who often reflects on his own behavior. You have identified this behavior in yourself, downloading multiple apps, but you don't use them often, and you believe that this has an impact on you.

What impact does the questioner believe this behavior has on him or her? I previously followed a colleague's example and downloaded several learning apps to study and take quizzes together. However, the demanding schedule proved challenging to manage. During that period, I felt that I was not learning effectively. Not only did I not learn anything, I also felt overwhelmed. Being busy made it difficult for me to enjoy life, and I experienced a sense of frustration.

Afterwards, I conducted a thorough review of my actions, identified the items that were most essential, eliminated superfluous elements, and presented myself as a highly motivated student. This approach may appear somewhat self-absorbed, as though I were trying to convey a sense of intense dedication upon opening my computer and seeing a plethora of study software. However, this tactic initially felt somewhat pressuring, and I came to recognize that my capacity to accept myself was somewhat limited. After deleting it, I felt a greater sense of ease.

3. Identify your own internal needs.

When colleague A recommends a particular software program as being highly useful and beneficial, and colleague B suggests a specific platform for viewing educational videos, and after spending time with colleagues, I have learned about the significant impact the software they commonly use has had on them, and after listening, I am motivated to download it as well.

The reason is that I want to gain a certain level of self-confidence by doing the same things as them. It is important to remember that everyone's life is different, with different pursuits and passions. We all have our own goals and objectives, and it is crucial to be clear about them and work hard to achieve them. It is also important to avoid letting other people's pursuits affect the rhythm of your life and your ability to focus on your own needs.

I hope this information is useful to the individual who posed the question. Best regards,

Hello, host! I'm July, and I'm so happy to be here!

After reading your description, I totally get what you're asking. I'm here for you, so don't worry!

From what you've told me, I can see that you're feeling a bit confused, but I'm here to help!

You know, in your description, you mentioned that this example is a very interesting point. And analyzing your own character traits through such a point is also a very novel point. So, I just wanted to give you a thumbs-up for being able to ask such a question. After all, not everyone can think like you and ask such a question, which makes us think together.

I totally get it! I can see from your description that you only use Yi Xinli frequently and use WeChat Reading immediately and occasionally. As for other software, you rarely open it yourself. We all have the same amount of time in a day, so it makes sense that we spend different amounts of time on different apps. Some have very little time, but some have a lot.

It's all about your current needs, sweetheart. You know, only if you need something will you spend time looking at it. So, for some apps that aren't super important to you, you can actually delete them. You don't actually need too many apps, you know? So, for some apps that aren't just-in-time, you can temporarily uninstall them. You can always download them again, no problem!

We've all been there! There are some apps that we don't use that much, but deep down, we know we'll use them someday. It's like when we buy lots of books but don't get around to reading them all. It's the same with apps! We know we'll use them someday, but we just keep them on our phones and don't get around to using them much.

I've also put together a few tips to help you out. I really hope they help! ?

(1) Take it easy, take your time, and don't put too much pressure on yourself, because that'll only make you feel uncomfortable.

(2) Try to find what you truly need, whether it's an app or something else. It's so important to know what you want deep down, so you don't end up in a confusing situation.

(3) It's not hard to make up your mind to delete an app. The tricky part is that before you want to delete an app, you'll probably set a few obstacles for yourself. This can trap you in a loop you've been in for a while, making it hard to get out.

(4) Try to let go of things that aren't that important, because your energy is limited, not infinite. That means you can only spend time on things you really need.

(5) Give yourself a big hug and some courage to delete apps that are not useful at the moment. After all, you can reinstall them if you uninstall them, so there's no need to feel torn up about it. This is totally okay! If you say no, you don't want to delete the app, that's fine too. After all, it's your choice, and there's no right or wrong. After all, your memory allows you to have these apps, right?

I love you, and so does the world! ?

Wishing you all the best!

Hello!

Your question is very fresh and interesting. I can tell you exactly how to choose the right news and information receiving app or manage knowledge acquisition apps.

Focus on the main function: effective classification.

My own simple classification is as follows:

Read e-book apps, radio music and sound apps, learning apps (including English learning and the fragmented learning and growth app 1mind).

Keep for exercise records. Then there's the all-purpose treasure trove of Bilibili, Xiaohongshu for discovering new things by following celebrities and eating the melon, and Weibo.

Sort the apps you use most based on your needs and how much you use them. If you have enough memory, you can keep all of them.

They don't get in the way. Put them in a folder.

Count and observe the content of topics that interest you more.

Each app has a different focus and atmosphere, so think about what kind of content you want to receive or see more of. This will lead to better growth.

I would uninstall Weibo if I didn't want to chase after stars. There's just too much spam.

The Q&A community on Yixinli is the better choice if you're looking for answers. Unlike Zhihu, it's free of irrelevant stories and focuses on useful knowledge and information that can help us better understand ourselves.

Download and use the app. What is your real need?

Mobile apps are the most authentic and personalized expression of everyone's thoughts in this era. They hide our desires, aspirations, and even what we want. It's important to understand what response we hope to get by downloading an app and to be informed.

If you want to learn and grow, I advise you to watch fewer short videos and read more books or watch the original series. True wisdom comes from our own feelings and experiences. Videos are second-hand or third-hand knowledge from other people's thoughts and opinions, which is only temporary. You'll forget about it after a while.

If you want to understand your emotions and learn to grow through reading and learning about yourself, then Yixinli is the best choice! There are many sections, and the public counseling room is free to listen to stories and chat. The psychological circle has people posting updates every day to record their lives. You can also choose to ask questions for free, and there is no threshold to answering questions – and there is also a certain income (not a fake, this is a real experience after nine months of use).

I am confident that my answer will be helpful to you. The world and I love you!
