Each week, I step back to see the big picture — what I’m working toward, what’s draining me, and what to let go of. The digital cleanup is just a bonus.
Take clear, structured notes during meetings, highlight action items, and organize everything by project or team — all in one place you can easily revisit.
When my desktop turns into chaos, this is how I fix it. I clean up clutter, group files into folders, and set up a system that actually stays tidy for more than a day.
Instead of printing or copying notes by hand, I just open the PDF, highlight key sections, and add comments I can come back to later. Way faster and easier to search.
This process helped me stop procrastinating — I split my thesis into sections, tracked daily progress, and used notes and citations that were actually findable when I needed them.
