digital organization

Written By Ashley Bray, MA

January is the perfect time for a fresh start to get yourself organized!  We spend so much of our time on our devices, that we sometimes forget that the digital clutter can also have an impact on our ability to focus and have a clear mind.  Taking a few minutes to devote to a digital declutter can help improve your focus, productivity and lower your stress levels! 

Digital Organization Checklist: 

Computer:

  • Clear your desktop 

  • Are your most frequented websites for personal or work use saved as favorites in your browser?

  • Rename documents so you know exactly what they are

  • Organize all work and personal documents into folders

  • Delete your downloads 

  • Check for & install computer updates 

Phone:

  • Turn off social media notifications

  • Delete or put timers/blockers on apps that are distracting 

  • Make sure push notifications are turned off for calendars, reminders, to-do list, etc. 

  • Set up focus time to correspond with working hours

  • Unsubscribe (from texts, emails, etc)

* Please email info@lifesolvedcoaching.com with any requests for accommodation.
