A streaming service you signed up for on its website, or a gym app paid by card, will not be there, however many times you look. Open Settings, tap your name, tap Subscriptions, choose the plan and tap Cancel Subscription. Read the date

Uninstalling an app on Android does not stop its subscription. Google keeps charging until the plan is canceled in Google Play, under the same Google Account that bought it. Open the Play Store, tap your profile picture, then Payments & subscriptions › Subscriptions. Choose the plan, tap Cancel subscription and follow the prompts. If the

A bank app that says you have 6 subscriptions is usually wrong. It misses the yearly cloud renewal, the plan billed to an old card, and the trial that turns paid next week. Keep one list that combines your statements, your Apple and Google subscription screens and your email receipts. A tracker app can help

Forgotten subscriptions hide in three places: yearly renewals you paid once and forgot, plans billed through a company with a different name, and free trials that quietly turned paid.

An end-of-year review is not a bigger weekly cleanup. Its job is different: close the year’s finished work, check that archives and backups actually open, and catch the yearly renewals and old accounts you only think about once. Set aside one or two hours in December or January. Close finished projects into a dated archive,

“Clean up my computer” is not a task. It is a hundred decisions with no obvious first one, which is exactly the kind of thing that is hard to start when attention jumps around. “Open Downloads and sort by date” is a task. Make the next action visible and small: one surface, one written first
