What gives you energy? What zaps it? When do you recharge? How? If you know the answers, you’re ahead of the game.

But in the middle of your busy day, think, Do I exist right now solely because of espresso...or am I actually enthusiastic about what I'm doing? Just...note it.

How to Spring Clean Your Digital Life
Google Keep. Creates lists, organizes notes, syncs to your Google accounts. Maybe my new best friend?
Dropbox Paper. “Work together with your team on docs, give feedback, and track tasks in one place.” YES PLS I WANT.
Trello. Great for project management. I, uh, need this, too.
Evernote. Classic. How I organize my brain and every idea I’ve ever had.
Thank you for reading.
Love, Kara
