Now let’s hear from Alison:
Decluttering and organizing your home, workspace, etc. Most of us are familiar with the concept. We have a general idea of what organizing a kitchen cabinet or storing clothing in a closet looks like.
What about organizing things like files, digital photos, or the list of lists milling around in your head? Here’s what I thought about those things for several years.
“I’ll eventually get to organizing all the files on my computer.”
“I take a lot of duplicate photos on my phone, I should sort those out.”
“Where’d that flash drive come from? I have no idea what’s on it.”
“Maybe I should stop writing all my lists out on sticky notes, it’s so easy to lose them or crumple them in my purse.”
“It would be so much easier to have an annual reminder to schedule an eye doctor appointment/go get the car inspected.”
These are all thoughts that errantly floated through my brain and I’d just dismiss them as something I would eventually get to. Over the last few years, I’ve decided to check them off my list.
I’ve always been an organizer and a planner. I love organizing workspaces, closets, pantries, you name it. Making a house or cubicle more efficient and a calmer space is so rewarding. As a project manager, I also love planning. I plan everything. I plan work projects, grocery lists, meal plans, house projects, chore schedules, social events, etc. Prior to a few years ago, I did all that planning on paper. Enter Wunderlist. This app was the catalyst to my digital organization and productivity journey.
We’ll talk through how I tackled digital organizing, how you can begin the process, and what you can use to make it easier. Making your life more efficient and a calmer space frees up your mind to think about the things that really matter to you and also helps you find the time to do those things!
