I wanted to do next and how I wanted to film it and all that sort of thing
So this time I have decided to focus on how to keep your digital life more simplified
So I'll be showing you things on my computer
And I'll be showing you things on the phone as well
If you want a more in-depth look at the apps and everything that I do keep on my phone to help me stay organized
That's um. Oh what's on my phone video. I posted that a week ago two weeks ago
I'm not sure anyway. I'll put a link in the description box
So you can find that one if you'd like to watch it
What was that accent this video will be covering?
How to keep everything organized digitally when you do have [to] work a lot on your computer, so I'll be touching on emails
I mean, I have multiple email addresses than I have two because I'm part of different companies
So I'll be going through all of that sort of thing if you do enjoy the video
I'd love it. If you would give a big thumbs up if you're feeling nice, and I will take you through my tips now
Keeping your computer organized will help make you more productive and also
It will help your computer run a little bit better when it's not clogged up with heaps of files that you're not using
Try to keep your desktop empty. I've got my mailbox. I've got final cut pro
Google chrome and then quicktime player is sitting there. Just because it is recording [at] this screen grab
Make sure you have a really good filing system
For all of your documents and main things properly so [that] you can find them later I
Like to empty my downloads folder weekly just to make sure there's nothing sitting in there be pretty ruthless with this one
It's also a good idea to keep an eye on your bookmarks
These can easily get out of control [use] your bookmarks manager if you're using chrome. It'll make it really simple
Back up all your files to a hard drive and also to a cloud system
Like to empty my trash weekly as well this makes sure there's no junk files just sitting around in my computer
Won't show you too many of my emails because there are some personal ones in there of course
But I can say try to get to inbox zero. I've just often as possible
Unsubscribe from mailing lists that are just trying to sell you things all the time
But you can keep blogs there if they're helpful
So I like to follow a couple of blogs that have tips that I find very handy
But things that are just advertising I'll often unsubscribe from those
when it comes to your mobile phone make sure there's no extra apps that you're not using just sitting around and
I like to use an app called flick to help me get through my photos and sort what I do and don't want to keep
Also remove any phone contacts for you're not in contact with so my tips are daily clean up your desktop of your computer
Sort out your emails
When it comes to weekly you're going to want to backup your files
So on the hard drive and on the cloud system empty your trash folder and empty out your downloads
For a monthly checkup, you're going to want to unsubscribe
From marketing mailing lists and you're going to want to check what?
Applications that you have in your computer if you're not using them it get rid of them
Quarterly, you're going to unlike pages that aren't necessary
And you're going to unfriend people who you don't want to have on your friends list anymore
And you're also going to do a big image cleanup, so get rid of the files that you don't need
