Summary

Before the world was sent into a world-wide pandemic, many of us were content in our lives as paper-loving teachers. Suddenly, our world shifted and many of us were forced to accept the digital lifestyle. But instead of focusing on the inconveniences and the problems with everything moving to digital, we have to shift our mindsets and adapt by finding ways to overcome our grievances. Today, we are sharing some small changes that you can make in order to better organize your digital life. By taking these small steps you will feel more productive and be able to better manage your time. TIPS FOR ORGANIZING YOUR DIGITAL LIFE Tip #1: Set Alarms Tip #2: Set Times to Complete Specific Tasks Tip #3: Streamline your Apps/Websites Tip #4: Digitize your Paperflow Tip #5: Utilize Templates CONCLUSION One of the biggest reasons so many of us have never fully committed to going digital is because we have never really had to do it. This is the time to get your feet wet and begin transitioning your life online. Start slow and small and build as you go. If you start trying too much too fast you risk feeling overwhelmed and frustrated and dropping it all together. SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW Are you subscribed to our podcast?

0:07.3	your life easier by helping you master your time, organization, and productivity as a teacher.
0:13.8	Listen, you all know that we as teachers have been forced to suddenly transform literally all of our teaching practices to be digital.
0:23.4	I feel like this is a bad nightmare for a lot of us because there were so many of us who are like,
0:28.6	no, like, I don't need to do things digitally. And now it's like, ha ha, you have no choice.
0:34.6	But this means we have an entirely new system that we have to organize. And you know
0:40.6	how much Bridget and I love organization. So today, we are going to help you organize your digital
0:46.8	life with some simple tips. Okay. I mean simple. These are things you can start implementing

1:51.7	SMH means. You don't remember. That's great. Okay. Yeah. So Bridget and I were reading this one.
1:58.1	And Bridget said SMH. And I could just tell. I was like, she doesn't know what
2:02.6	that means. So I was like, Bridget, do you know what that means? And she's like, no. So I did tell her,
