What's your number one question about self-improvement?


Are you tired of staring at a computer screen filled with dozens, if not hundreds, of disorganized folders? Do you find yourself wasting precious time searching for files that should be easy to find? If so, it's time to simplify your digital life with a powerful affirmation: "I do not have more than 10 folders."

The benefits of simplifying your computer files into just a handful of folders are numerous. Not only will it make your digital life easier to navigate, but it can also help you reduce stress and boost your productivity. With a manageable number of folders, you'll know exactly where to find what you need and can spend more time actually getting work done.

But how do you implement this decluttering tactic? Here are a few practical tips and tricks that can help:

1. Create a Naming Convention

One of the keys to decluttering your digital life is to use a consistent naming convention for your files. This makes it easier to organize them into just a few folders and also makes them easier to find. For example, if you're working on a project, start each file name with the project name followed by a brief description of the contents. This also helps you avoid duplicate files with slightly different names.

2. Choose Your Folders Wisely

When it comes to creating folders, it's important to choose them wisely. Think about the types of files you have and what categories they fall under. For example, you might have a folder for work documents, personal documents, photos, music, and videos. The key is to keep it simple – too many folders can actually make it harder to find what you're looking for.

3. Use Subfolders Strategically

While the goal is to have 10 or fewer folders, that doesn't mean you can't create subfolders for further organization. For example, within your work folder, you might have subfolders for different clients or projects. Just be careful not to go overboard – too many subfolders can be just as overwhelming as too many folders.

Now, just imagine how much easier your digital life could be with just a handful of folders to navigate. No more wasted time searching for files, no more stress from a cluttered desktop, and no more productivity lost to disorganization.

But the good news is that this isn't just about decluttering your computer – it's about transforming your life. Decluttering your digital life can be the starting point for a larger decluttering mission that will free up space and energy in all areas of your life. By simplifying your digital life, you're creating a solid foundation on which to build a calmer, more organized existence.

So, get ready to say goodbye to clutter and hello to a simplified, streamlined digital experience. Repeat the affirmation, "I do not have more than 10 folders", and watch as your digital life becomes easier, more efficient, and more enjoyable.
