DIGITAL DECLUTTERING WHEN YOU LIVE ALONE IN MILAN
Have you ever heard of digital decluttering? Do you know how it can improve your study performance and help you maximize your study time for a university exam by living alone?
In this in-depth study, we will try to make some clarity on an issue more and more relevant in the life of each student. Being connected and technological it’s useful, but doing it without criteria can be detrimental to the achievement of your goals.
What is digital decluttering
Digital decluttering is the activity of putting some order in your digital devices and in your virtual network, getting rid of the superfluous and thus re-establishing a new mental rigor. Think, for example, of the apps installed on your smartphone and never used, the many e-mails you receive because you are subscribed to useless newsletters, or the thousands of photos trapped on your smartphone. Are you sure these are useful?
What are digital distractions
Now that we have clarified what digital decluttering is, we can highlight its main purpose: eliminate digital distractions. But what are they?
This category includes everything that, as a result of technology and connectivity, can steal your time by interrupting the most profitable activities, hence causing unneeded distraction: from instant messaging apps to social networks, the list is – as you can guess – very long.
How to be minimalist in digital
The good news for you, who are looking for advice to live alone in Milan, is that regaining a greater efficiency in the conduct of your relevant activities is certainly not difficult.
It is enough to become a bit more minimalist in digital. But how to do it?
How to eliminate any digital distraction
The rule no. 1 to become a digital minimalist and to make the best decluttering is certainly to eliminate any distraction. Here are some useful tips.
Deactivate any notification
Disable all instant messaging app notifications, leaving enabled only those of your most important contacts. You can always read messages during scheduled breaks, for example two or three times a day.
Delete all unnecessary files on your computer
Cleanup your computer: useless files on your desktop can be dangerous sources of distraction, leading you to waste time just trying to figure out what’s behind them!
Organizing technology to maximize productivity
Technology should enhance our productivity, so first of all put your thoughts in order and try to understand what you need to study at your best.
Eliminate unnecessary programs/applications
Delete any program or application you haven’t used more than once in the last month. They’re probably not that useful, don’t you think?
Computer organization
Once you have done the above steps, you can proceed more quickly in the preparation of a new digital tools organization. Let’s figure out how.
Organize everything with Google Drive
Organizing everything with Google Drive will allow you to always have access to your files, whenever you need them, wherever you are. Manage your folders better and give the access to your employees or colleagues, if necessary.
Synchronize Google Drive with your other devices
In order to have always available the latest version of your files, remember to sync Google Drive with all the major devices you use for work.
Move the superfluous to external HD
If you have files that you no longer use (think maybe about the teaching material of the exams you have already passed), put order by moving them in an external HD.
Conclusions
As you’ve seen, digital decluttering is very simple and will allow you to reduce your waste of time in a truly remarkable way. Why don’t you start thinking about this now?
