Unclutter Your World: Organizing Your Digital Life

There’s no time like the new year to get organized. In fact, it’s one of the top 10 most common resolutions each year. 


In an era dominated by technology, our lives have become intricately interwoven with digital devices and online platforms. From work to personal connections, entertainment, and beyond, our digital footprint continues to expand. Yet, amid this digital revolution, many of us find ourselves drowning in a sea of unorganized files, emails, digital clutter, and social media overstimulation. It's time to acknowledge the importance of organizing our digital lives for enhanced productivity, peace of mind, and a more streamlined existence.


Our devices, be it smartphones, tablets, or computers, have become repositories of vast amounts of information. Files, photos, emails, and apps accumulate, often without a structured management approach. This digital onslaught can lead to frustration, inefficiency, and, more importantly, the risk of losing valuable data.


Pro Tips for Digital Organization


Declutter Regularly

Initiate a systematic decluttering process. Remove redundant files, unsubscribe from unnecessary email lists, and delete unused apps. Regular purges prevent the accumulation of digital debris.


Create Folders and Categories

Implement a comprehensive folder system to categorize files, emails, and documents. This ensures a logical structure, making it easier to locate specific items when needed.


Backup Your Data

Invest in reliable backup solutions to safeguard your digital assets. Cloud storage services and external hard drives offer secure options for preserving your data in case of a system failure or other unforeseen circumstances.


Adopt Productivity Tools

Explore productivity tools and apps that can assist in organizing your digital life. Calendar apps, task management tools, and note-taking applications can be instrumental in maintaining order.

By the second half of 1997, we’d lost Princess Diana, Biggie Smalls, and my grandmother. In 2004, my grandfather died. My oldest sister, Angela (a vocalist), had a recording of her singing Amazing Grace that was played at both funerals. On June 8, 2008, my mother called to tell me a drunk driver had killed my older sister and her boyfriend. Another funeral, another playing of Amazing Grace. In an act of rebellion (a tiny homage to my brilliantly defiant sister), I went to Walmart and bought Natalie Grant’s then-latest CD to play instead. But having never listened to any song other than In Better Hands, it wasn’t quite appropriate either. Then in February 2012, my stepdad died suddenly of a heart attack. The man had a fabulous vinyl collection – Eagles, Santana, Credence Clearwater Revival. Guess what we played? Hint: It wasn’t any of those, nor Natalie Grant. To say death has significantly impacted my life is an understatement. Planning for a death you’re prepared for is hard enough. Watching my mother arrange two unexpectedly in four years was gut-wrenching. And while she did her best, it didn’t feel like them. As a former music teacher, to me, there’s nothing more important than music. It’s universal. It’s emotional. And at a funeral, it’s a unifying medium that joins mourners and speaks to them as a celebration of the ones they lost. I have a constant soundtrack playing in my head. I even have funeral tracks picked out – a bit basic and a bit indie… just like me. Blame it on the losses I’ve had, my ADHD, or 14 years spent involved in music. It’s probably a combination of all three. Regardless, I know what I want played at my funeral. And sorry, Angela, it’s not Amazing Grace.
