rather unflattering camera angles followed by a BEAUTIFUL Hawaiian sunsetĪLSO (couldn’t have planned this if I’d tried!) – in the last couple minutes of the recording, you’ll see the pop-up notice that my disk (laptop storage) was almost full.the cutest “soaping wet” salute you’ve ever seen.the tools I’m currently using to take control of my digi-mess.the signs + symptoms of a digi-clutter problem.If you’re in the “of COURSE I wanna see that!” camp, prepare for: I’m really only including this “bonus” video as entertainment for YOU ) If, on the other hand, you WOULD like to see what my real life is like (juggling “work” + mamahood), get your popcorn ready. It IS almost 30 minutes of video chaos with business advice (+ sprinkler attacks) sprinkled in. It’s not a typical Nikki video with concise, actionable tips.
NOTE: If you’d like to skip to the practical takeaways + my tips for decluttering, you have my full blessing to scroll right past the video below. It’s time to take control of your digi-life and give yourself the fresh, streamlined workspace you (+ your creativity) need to thrive. Just like physical clutter, digital clutter can seriously affect your spirits and productivity.Īnd when you’re on a mission to bring value to the world (as you are), ain’t nobody got time for THAT. Then WHY do we do (the equivalent of) that with our digital spaces? You probably don’t let your physical space fill up with junk, throwing your pencils in the silverware drawer, letting ten months of mail pile up on your kitchen counter, or storing your finest jewels in the couch cushions, right?
That said, taking time to declutter your files can and WILL free your mind to create and connect with more clarity and confidence (because you’re not letting great ideas fall through the Google Drive cracks or spending precious time searching for a screenshot you never named). (That’s one reason I’ve resisted it for so long!) It doesn’t provide an immediate, direct return on investment like creating a new offer and having conversations with potential clients + customers. TRUST me, I get it: Taking time to declutter digital files is NOT a sexy gig. If you’re anything like me, you’re a big fan of screenshots.Īaaaand you haven’t taken time to organize ANY of the above in recent ( or long-term) memory.
