Send us a text

In this deep-dive episode with digital organization expert Shawn Lemon, we explore how to tame your digital chaos with brain-friendly systems that work especially well for those with ADHD and executive function challenges.

📌 Key Topics:

• Why digital organization is a modern problem requiring new solutions
• The four pillars of digital organization: email, files, passwords, and project management
• How scattered digital storage creates mental overwhelm and inefficiency
• Breaking the "perfect system" trap that leads to burnout
• Implementing the "one thing at a time" approach for digital tasks
• Building trust that important ideas will resurface when needed

🗣️ Featured Quote: "If we were to take your digital workspace and make it a physical space... what would that look like? So often we're using Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive... we have all these trailers in one park, but there's no path between them."

💡 Strategy Breakdown:

• Create a single digital home for all your files instead of using multiple platforms
• Use the "snooze" feature to manage email without constant monitoring
• Implement a "back burner list" to capture ideas without cluttering your task manager
• Break digital organization projects into manageable chunks to avoid burnout
• Use simple tools like Text Expander to reduce repetitive typing tasks
• Maintain a "deep freeze" archive for old files you're not ready to delete

🎯 Coming Up Next: Join us for an upcoming episode where we'll continue exploring brain-friendly productivity strategies that work with your unique thinking style.

🔑 Key Takeaway: Digital organization isn't about creating the perfect system—it's about simplifying your digital experience so you can find what you need in seconds and focus on what truly matters.
