Just as we conduct spring cleaning activities around our home, spring also offers an opportunity for "digital spring cleaning." Below are a handful of tips you can use to tidy up your digital life.
- Declutter your bookmark bar - Most of us have bookmarks we no longer use. Delete unused bookmarks and reorder your bookmark bar.
- Clean up your email - Save only those emails you really need and unsubscribe to email you no longer need/want to receive.
- Update Google Chrome - Check your Chrome version by going to the three dots in the top right corner. Then go to Help>About Google Chrome. It will update and relaunch.
- Clean off your desktop - Have files on your Desktop or in your Downloads that you'd like to keep? Move them off your Desktop and into Google Drive.
- Organize your Google Drive - Create new folders and add all of your unorganized files to them. Consider deleting any unwanted files and only keeping the things you still need.

INSPIRATION MATTERS
with Kathy Nimmer
|
|
I always want these short messages to lift you up. Occasionally, what
I find for you is something that speaks personally to me. Here is a
video
of a teenager auditioning for American Idol. She sings very
well, she is articulate, and she is chosen to advance to the next
round of the competition. Still, it is the fact that she has recently
lost vision that speaks to me, reminding me of the teenager I was and
filling my eyes with tears. May this reach you as well and encourage
you to rise up
