Why does our tech pile up faster than we can clear it?

Your pod says yes to new apps in every meeting. No one says no to the old ones. Two hundred apps sit on one phone. Fifteen get used. The rest just wait, taking up space, taking a little attention every time you scroll past them. Water does not add itself to be strong. It wears stone down by taking away, drop by drop. A valley is useful because it is empty inside. Your team's tools should work the same way — fewer things, held loosely, used well. This is not really about apps. It is about the group's shared attention — one pool, split many ways. Every tool nobody opens is a small leak. Fix the leaks together, and there is more water left for what matters.
