QUICK TIPS FOR ORGANIZING tech
Organize Your Phone Like a Pro
📱 Purge Unused Apps: Let's be real—if you haven't opened that meditation app in over a year, it's time to let it go. Take a few minutes to swipe through your screens and delete any apps you no longer use. Not only will this free up space, but it will also make navigating your phone much smoother.
📱 Organize by Category (or by color, if you're a little extra like me): Group similar apps into folders by category—think "Social," "Work," "Health," and "Entertainment." This way, you can quickly find what you’re looking for without scrolling through endless screens. Or, if you like things looking aesthetic and love a little ROYGBIV 🌈, you can create folders based on the color of the app. You might think that you'll never know where to find things, but I guarantee you know what color to look for to find your Facebook app 💙. However you decide to categorize, be sure to keep your most-used apps on the first page for easy access. Here's mine, to show you how my brain works.

📱 Clear Out Your Photos: How many screenshots and duplicate photos are clogging up your camera roll? Set aside some time each week to go through your photos and delete what you don’t need. Consider using cloud storage or a photo organizing app to keep your pictures safe and sorted.
📱 Manage Notifications: Do you really need to know every time someone comments on a post or every single update from that random game? Go into your settings and turn off non-essential notifications. This will help reduce distractions and keep your screen clean. Bonus - this will significantly increase your productivity because you won't be wasting time with these interruptions and then need to get back into what you were trying to focus on.
Use apps to make sure nothing slips through the cracks
✅ Use apps like Trello, Asana or Todoist to create and manage task lists and projects. These apps allow you to break down larger projects into smaller tasks, set deadlines, and track progress. Visual boards and checklists help you stay on top of your to-do list and ensure nothing is overlooked.
✅ Synchronize your schedule using digital calendars like Google Calendar or Outlook. These tools let you set reminders, create recurring events, and share your calendar with others. Integration with your smartphone ensures you receive notifications on the go, helping you manage your time effectively.
✅ Apps like Evernote, OneNote, and Google Drive allow you to store and organize notes, documents, and ideas in one place. Use these apps to capture important information, clip web articles, and organize your notes into notebooks or categories. This makes it easy to access and reference your notes whenever needed, enhancing your overall productivity.
