Do These Things On Your Phone & Online For A Fresh Start To 2017

The start of a new year means it's time for a reality check. How many update notifications did you push "remind me later" on in 2016? How many emails did you star with the intention of returning to them later? And how many first-name contacts from Tinder dates still clutter your address book?
