Self-Assessment & Success Moving Forward

As we near the end of this course, let's take a few minutes to reflect on how far we've come. When you started this work, your digital world was probably pretty chaotic and full of digital overwhelm exploding inboxes, lost passwords, missing documents together, we walked through every part of your digital world, conquered each digital disaster zone and organize your digital life. Now every area in your digital life has a distinct one home. And you know where all of your files are there securely backed up and you can access them anytime, anywhere. Amazing. You can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that you have digital peace of mind and greater control of how and when you use your technology. Some of you have taken this one step further and opened up to a new way of interacting with your technology, a state of calm and control. We like to call digital zen. You've done a lot of work and you should be proud of yourself, you're no longer in digital autopilot and you understand the value of ...

organizing your digital life most importantly, by digitally decluttering, you've cleared up time and energy for the areas in your life that truly matter. We also know that decluttering every area can take time and that's okay. Something we've emphasized throughout this course is the digital decluttering isn't about a perfect final product. The digital world just moves too fast for that. We are constantly getting new inputs and what's important is that you leave this course having completed the fundamentals and confident with your new systems above all we want you to leave this course with the knowledge that you are totally in control of your digital life. So let's talk about what successfully completing this course looks like. Take a few minutes now to make sure that you've completed our course objectives and to look back on the goals you set for yourself when you began this course. Hopefully by now you understand the key principles of digital minimalism and are committed to shifting from a digital overwhelmed mindset toward a state of digital peace of mind. You've tamed your inbox consolidating and decluttering all email accounts and setting up an inbox system that works for you. You've set up cloud based auto backup for every area of your digital life and feel confident and secure about your data in case of emergency or device loss. You've dick cluttered every key area of your digital life, setting up a new one home for each area, your calendar to do list notes, documents, downloads, contacts, passwords, scans, photos, videos and music. You've familiarized yourself with better ways to manage your media, including how you save internet sites, books and reading materials. You have a list of every outstanding digital disaster area where you need to finish decluttering and you've put a few decluttering sessions on your calendar, you've taken control of how and when you use your technology, some of you may have also leveraged automation hacks and team organization techniques to super boost your digital processes if you aren't sure you've completely covered any of these, we do suggest that you take the time now to revisit some of the earlier lectures or reach out to the facebook community for this course to get guidance and support. It's totally normal and even recommended to schedule another digital decluttering day or two after this course, If you've been really challenged by the implementation part of this course and felt like you didn't have time to do the actual decluttering, you can try challenging yourself to a 30 day digital decluttering challenge Every day for the next month, spend a chunk of time, even 10 minutes counts digitally decluttering. If you stick to this commitment, we promise you that by the end of the month you will have made major progress and felt positive, tangible benefits. We also want to mention that you don't have to go about this all on your own outsourcing can be a great option, especially for any tedious areas where you're migrating scanning or uploading files. You can use an app like Fiverr or task rabbit to find someone local who can help or even grab your tech savvy nephew. Just make sure that you are handling any sensitive or secure files on your own. Remember you have a big say here as to what success looks like. We all have different organization standards and preferences, different needs and different habits. It's not about achieving perfection, it's about recognizing how far you've come. We've shared with you the best practice digital organization standards and it's ultimately up to you to commit to a more organized digital life and make customization according to your needs and one more thing in the coming months, you may also notice some changes happening outside of your digital life. Just like when you declutter your physical home or office decluttering your digital world means space and energy for new things, take note when people digitally declutter, there can be long reaching benefits in other areas of their life, including their fitness levels, meditation practices, romantic relationships and interactions with others with less digital distraction and more digital mindfulness. Our attention turns away from our devices and towards a new way of living in the modern world. We can't wait to see where this journey takes you.

This class is well organized and flows well. There is one thing I do NOT like is the reference to another class in the Syllabus: "Kill The Chaos of Information Overload with Evernote Webinar" The webinar has only one good tip, use Tabs in Evernote. The webinar hypes more tips if you buy the course by Charles Bird. I bought the course for $197 which was listed as a discount from a much higher price. The course is poorly assembled, out of date, and hardly worth more than a few dollars. It assembled with a bunch of short videos, each video starts after he is talking and ends before he is finished. Evernote Scanner is no longer made and Evernote no longer supports the software.
