Get Organized: How to Clean Up Your Messy Digital Life
Cutting out clutter might be the best thing you’ve ever done, not just in your closet, but also on your computer, smartphone, email, and online accounts.
Get Organized: How to Clean Up Your Messy Digital Life is a how-to guide for reimagining your digital life and getting it to a happier and more productive place.
Author and software expert Jill Duffy shows you the apps, websites, and other freely available tools you'll need to put your life back in order. You'll learn how to:
Is your PC’s desktop as cluttered as your physical desktop? Are your media files mixed up and unintelligibly named? Are you not sure if your smartphone, password scheme, or backup system is as effective as it could be? Or is your email inbox in a constant state of disarray?
Then Jill Duffy wrote this book for you.
"The 'Get Organized' mission is to help people feel more in control of their digital lives through small and achievable steps," says Duffy. "A lot of the guidance in the book is about helping people take action, particularly in areas where they feel overwhelmed and inundated. My whole philosophy is about breaking down big problems into smaller parts that anyone can understand, even if they don't have a lot of experience with technology."
Based on PCMag’s popular weekly "Get Organized" column by Jill Duffy, this ebook is loaded with advice and tutorials on how to better manage email and social media, how to process and sort digital photos and music, how to best use the cloud, and, most of all, how to create an organized digital life that you can sustain. Across 15 chapters and half a dozen exclusive videos, Duffy addresses every aspect of your personal and professional tech organization.
