earlier on. In the course, we talked about forcing functions and making it easier to stay organized than disorganized. In this lecture, we're going to talk about how to do that with automation As our worlds become more digitized and more cloud based automation becomes a more and more powerful option for taking care of all our organizational needs. You see, once things are stored either on our own computers or on the cloud, we can use powerful programs to automatically tidy up after us based on specific rules that you set. This is powerful for a few different reasons. One, as we said before, once you automate something, it literally becomes easier to stay organized than to go back to your old cluttered ways. If you develop a set of rules that automatically sort your files based on the type of file they are and where they came from. It's easier to just let that program run rather than moving the file manually to your desktop. In fact, you probably won't even know that it's happening. And...

that's another one of the major perks you see in my courses on productivity and automation. I talk a lot about moving away from not important and not urgent tasks and shifting your efforts towards the important but not urgent tasks that most of us ignore these important but not urgent tasks are usually the things that matter most in life from spending time with family to strategic planning on projects to taking care of our own health and more now, where do you think organizing emails and photos falls on that matrix? Obviously it's not that important and it's definitely not urgent. Most people live decades with this chaos and only organize their files when they're bored on a flight or need to find something. But with automation you can take hundreds or thousands of tiny little tasks off of your subconscious to do list without even having to think about them. You can clear space and stress from your mind and time from your day while little magic digital elves take care of everything for you and sure, it might only take three seconds for you to drag a file to the right folder or file an important email away for safekeeping. But hey, those seconds add up. In fact in the grand scheme of things, even if you mostly neglect organization, it's reasonable to say that you still end up spending a few hours on it every single month. Not to mention the fact that these little interruptions are killing your focus and productivity. That's why as much as possible. We want to automate your organization. We want to create systems and rules that are going to just handle it while you focus on more important things. That way it becomes easy for you to stay organized and your systems are truly robust after all, computers never sleep, they never make mistakes and they never get tired. If you program them correctly, they will never fail to keep you organized and tidy. Now at first, automation might seem like something that only very technical people can utilize. You might be thinking of the tech genius Tony Stark and his fully automated home and life. But in reality setting up complex sets of automation doesn't have to be hard or scary. In recent years a great number of tools, apps and services have come out that make it easy for anyone, even non technical people to build automation. And these automation can handle hundreds or even thousands of tasks for you, whether on your phone, on your desktop computer, on the cloud or even in specific pieces of software that you use. In fact, in my company we automate around 50,000 simple administrative tasks and organizational tasks every single month using the exact tools that we're going to show you and we've never written a line of code to do it either as we proceed throughout the course, you're going to learn how to automate all kinds of things, from automatically filing certain kinds of emails into folders to automatically moving files around on our computers or cloud drives and even automatically tidying up old or unused stuff throughout our digital ecosystem. We're going to get to all of it. So as we proceed throughout the course, we want you to be open to automation, it's very easy to come up with a list of objections ranging from my life is too complex to automate too. It's just not worth the time to set up or even just plain old. I don't know how, but in reality everyone can learn and benefit a great deal from automating their technology. So keep an open mind, be willing to learn. And as we proceed throughout the course, will show you how to use automation to save time and reduce digital overwhelm.

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.

2,000+ classes ranging from fundamentals to advanced techniques.
