Do you ever feel like your computer is one big junk drawer?

If you're constantly hunting down files, re-downloading things, or wondering where in the world you saved that doc, this episode is your digital rescue plan.

I'm sharing the two simple habits I’ve been coaching on over and over lately—and they’ll help you actually stay organized after your initial digital cleanup. Whether you're just starting your organizing journey or you've got a shiny new file structure, these tips are your maintenance BFFs.

Plus, I’m breaking down:

  • Why organizing is a project AND a lifestyle (yep, like eating veggies and flossing)

  • The foundational mindset shift to think of organizing like a 12-week sprint

  • My go-to Google Drive tip to save time and reduce decision fatigue

  • What to do if your desktop is turning into a clutter crime scene

  • How to download smarter (not just dump everything in "Downloads")

And if you’ve ever felt guilty seeing 94 PDFs piled on your screen...you’re not alone. But this episode gives you a no-shame plan to fix it.

💡What You’ll Learn:

  • The two habits that will help you maintain your digital organization long-term

  • Why you don’t need to be perfect—just consistent

  • How to “name and home” like a pro

  • How to adjust your habits based on your clutter tolerance

  • Why maintenance routines (just like brushing your teeth) matter for your digital life

  • How to use Tracy’s File Naming Formula and 5-File System to simplify everything
