What do you think about the effectiveness of the particular method of digital decluttering recommended by Digital Minimalism? What modifications would you recommend? Ideal duration?
One reason I have yet to do a month-long declutter is because I remember thinking something like “this process sounds like something Cal Newport just kinda made up and didn’t particularly test, my own methods that I think of for me will probably better than Cal’s method he thought of for him”.
Kurt Brown (mentioned in the post) did an experiment on this, helping residents of CEEALAR (formerly the EA Hotel) do their own Newport-style digital declutter; you can read his preliminary writeup here.

So far my own methods have not worked.
This post is at least one more data point that Cal Newport’s method worked for someone else.
