The ultimate digital decluttering tool: How I’ve organised my important documents and saved my sanity
Today, more than ever, we are constantly bombarded with an overwhelming amount of information.
From emails and documents to web pages and PDFs, the data piles up quickly, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and struggling to stay organised.
And that’s just the stuff we receive digitally. It doesn’t account for the stuff that arrives through our mailbox — insurance details, letters from tax man, finance information. The list goes on.
All this content not only clutters our devices but also our minds, hindering productivity and focus.
Initially, my wife and I kept all this information in a “Box of Significance” which was kept at the bottom of the wardrobe. That didn’t get rid of the hours spent wading through paper trying to find a specific document at a day’s notice.
To change all that, though, I’m trying to store all that information digitally so that:
- The important documents in life take up less physical space
- Documents are easier to find when we need them
To help with that, I’ve put DEVONthink (www.devontechnologies.com) at the heart of the process.
