    I spent the last few days looking at videos about computer organization and this is BY FAR the most helpful I've found (thank you SO very much)!!!

    14:21 I love how honest and open you are with areas of your life (here the photos) that aren't 'perfect'. I really enjoy the outlook you seem to have that everything is achievable. That's what I take away from your comments about areas you want to improve anyway. :) Thanks! Been watching you since your college days, maybe 2017. Thanks for the study tips! Love to watch your life tips.
  • ahh this video was so incredibly helpful! got rid of so much stuff but also found so much stuff from before my grandma passed away - so great to be able to access those memories again and now easily! thank you!
  • @BethIsWriting
    So glad you showed how to change Google calendar colors! I just looked up a nice palette and it made my work calendar so much more pleasing to look at.
  • @KristaKleyla

  • @kyleenorfleet
    I feel so called out! (In the best way) I need to do this so much!! And yes it is daunting and overwhelming but you are right and I have some much footage I could as you said “give new life” if I can find it. I definitely need to give this a real go. I know future me would really appreciate it

  • @kyra8138
    I just realized that this rule would be perfect to use for my bookmarks on Google Chrome. They've been a mess and I've been procrastinating on fixing it but didn't know how best to organize it, now I do!

  • @UserUser0102
    Thank you for your perfect Video and explaining the PARA Method so i understand. Before i hear many times on it, but not understand. Now i applied PARA to many of my services in some minutes. ** Why would i need to use "custom desktop wallpaper (functional & cute)"
  • @livvehult8119
    Also! I would LOVE and NEED a video on organizing gmail!!! Or how to keep the inbox clear from unread emails. I dont open every notification and it ends up being 100-1000 unread emails!!
