Try as we might, our inboxes get cluttered, our Twitter following spirals out of control, we scroll through Instagram and think, \u201cwho is this again?\u201d and before we know it, our Facebook \u201cfriends\u201d are not really friends at all.<\/p>\n
Perhaps one of the most difficult areas to simplify in our lives is our digital spaces. Or, maybe that\u2019s just me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I think one of the major reasons it\u2019s so difficult to simplify our digital spaces is because we don\u2019t want to miss out on something awesome. So when we discover a new person or brand we think we might like, but we don\u2019t have the time to \u201cvet\u201d them so to speak, we just sign up for all of them tell ourselves.<\/p>\n
I figured I would make your job really easy by putting them all in one place. Many of them have email newsletters\u2014which I subscribe to\u2014and I highly recommend you do the same. Hope you enjoy!<\/p>\n

What Anthony calls \u201cThe Twitch\u201d is that thing we all tend to do when we don\u2019t have clear objectives, goals or plans for our lives. We get sucked into other people\u2019s objectives for us. We spend money needlessly on things that don\u2019t matter. We waste time and never have time for the things we truly want to do. And at the end of a day, week, or year, we feel discouraged because our life doesn\u2019t look the way we want it to. Want to break that twitch?<\/p>\n 7. Emily P.

Not only does she write for No Sidebar, but her thought-provoking and helpful posts about mind-body connection and the importance of confidence have changed the way I think about these issues. She is one of my favorite writers and I know you\u2019ll love her too.<\/p>\n
