As an Child and Adolescent Psychiatric, expert in screen time and soon to be father. I found myself thinking more and more about this.

I do this reset for my business side work, my programming project repo and my clinical work (I'm a kid physician).
I feel It both liberates me and at the exact time forces to understand my workflow and think of logical folders and separation of responsabilities. If something doesnt belong anywhere, maybe It is ephimeral and deserves to be erased... Though, but practical and I LOVE It.

-Somewhat simplified but original answers
But my opinion will change with the ongoing and future scientific proof.
