TPS #30- A system for quick-capture (digitally declutter)

Do you ever feel like you're drowning in digital clutter?

Every time you open your laptop or your phone, you're hit with an overwhelming wave of notifications, emails, and distractions.

It’s so easy to endless switch between your email, slack and Twitter.

I get it.

With everything in today’s world being online:

• Companies

• School’s

• Meetings

It’s no wonder that we are so consumed by all the digital media as well.

The good news is that there is a way out.

This process is called “digitally decluttering".”

And it is the #1 thing you can do for clearing your mind, planning your future, and getting work done in the present.

It's not just about deleting old files or unsubscribing from a few newsletters (although those are important steps).

It's about creating a system for capturing and intake that works for you.

Where you know exactly which tasks to focus on and which distractions to ignore.

Thats’s the world that us entrepreneurs need to live in if we want to make real progress and pick up the momentum.

So why does rarely anyone do this?

This is what I’ve come up with :

• We don't have a system in place for capturing and intake, so everything feels overwhelming

• We don't know which tools and apps to use to streamline our digital lives

• We're not sure how to prioritize our tasks and avoid distractions

The good news is, you can change.

And it’s a lot easier than you think.

So, let's break it down step by step:

Step 1: Streamline your tools and apps. 

It's easy to get sucked into the endless scroll of social media or the constant stream of notifications.

This is why you need one central place to get everything done.

A digital Command Center.

Before I found Notion, I didn’t know this was all possible in one place.

But do what works for you.

Step 2: Set boundaries and prioritize your tasks.

It's important to set boundaries for yourself and prioritize your tasks.

Most people will endlessly scroll socials and binge tv shows.

I’m not saying you should never.

But there is a time and a place. So, give yourself a time and place.

For example, you might set specific times during the day when you check your email or your social media accounts.

You might also use a task management app to prioritize your tasks and avoid distractions.

I used it to create workspaces and focus mode for myself and clients.

Step 3: Create a system for capturing and intake. 

This is where the magic happens.

And where your stress and anxiety can get put to ease.

And this can be different for everyone, but regardless, everyone needs a system in place for intake.

I use, notion (decluttering system below) and I highly reccoemd you do as well.

Whenever I have a new task, project, idea, etc I know exactly where to write it down, and how to go back and process it later.

Freeing my mental bandiwth up to focus on high leverage activities.

This system is designed to be your like a fishing net for everything you want to remeber later.

You can quickly enter any tasks, projects, ideas, etc.

And go back and processes them later.

Letting you focus on the task at hand.

The best part?

It’s optimized for mobile.

So, what are you waiting for?

Take the first step today and start decluttering your digital life.

You’ll thank me later.

Until next time,
