Clearing Out Before We’re Outside 🌷☀️😉
The winter is a beautiful time to handle a lot of your digital clutter.
Just because it’s not on your kitchen counter, doesn’t mean it’s not affecting you.
Organized tech = freedom.
My Favorite Winter Projects
Trimming Down My iCloud Storage
There’s nothing more annoying than the notification that pops up & tells you to upgrade for more. No ma’am.
I need less & here’s how:
Deleting old photos & videos
Start with the largest files.
Blurry or duplicate memories.
Search by screenshot, favorites, receipts, QR code, documents & more
Eventually, add to your Notes!
PRO TIP
Create photo albums - based on time, category or theme.
I have Early Years, Ancestors, Recipes, Music, Reference, Work, Testimonials & Confirmation (sweet texts from friends).
Next Level:
Text messages (they actually save it all!).
Contacts, passwords & apps.
Documents, voice notes, old back ups.
Organizing My Email
Unsubscribe! There is now a button so you don’t even have to open the email! 🥳
“Block” & label as “Junk.”
Delete anything that isn’t necessary.
PRO TIP
Get in the habit of deleting EARLY.
Don’t wait hella long & hoard things.
Unless it’s a super important document - delete that ISH. Or put it in Google Drive or Apple Files!
EXTRA PRO TIP 🔥
Create a separate email alias for newsletters.
Organizing Documents
We are going to create 3 Folders - or 3 emails. Home, Work & Family.
Start dumping documents into these folders.
If it’s old - DELETE IT. If you see duplicates, delete it! If you need to share with somebody or print it - do it!
Future folders could be Connections, Learning, Health, Fun, Important (Gov. Papers & Finance).
Pro Tip
Me & my boys are now using the SkyLight Calendar for all our chores & daily tasks. It’s got our grocery list, meal plan, recipes & new “Early Years” album synced 🥰🫶🏽.
Silencing Communication
Unfollow people.
You deserve! Freedom, peace & quiet.
Also - focus, inspiration & alignment.
Turn off notifications.
Use ZenScreen
Nobody can hit me up between 6-9 AM & 8-9 PM.
If it’s an emergency, you might be on my emergency list.
Use Do Not Disturb, Focus / Personal Mode
Add people, apps & schedule (more peace)
This really helps with spam calls.
I recently created folders of all my favorite YouTube videos!
Recommended DJ Sets, Organization, Tech, Health, Movement, Travel, Dance Tutorials, Kids & Home.
You could also:
Do the same with your AI or music. 💡
Clear your browser & cache.
Get an external hard drive or SSD.
The information is out here y’all, all we got to do is apply it!
Let’s this Fire Horse year be your best yet!
