Interesting question, how to maintain digital life? Several digital applications are made to make life more organized. Starting from checking activities and targets. Talking about digital life, actually I do not avoid digital life with social media. You know, I no longer use Instagram and Facebook. I choose to be inactive on social media until a certain time limit until some of my dreams come true. This is part of the commitment. Do I stay connected to social media?
Of course I do, I still have Twitter, where I still follow the hot trends of social media. For some digital tools to organize my life, I usually use Google Keep. Especially to save a number of articles that have been posted on the hive. Oh yes, it's been more than a month, my life has been a little loose. Because I am enjoying life after resigning from work. I reflect a lot about myself and the mistakes made in the past.
I only check incoming emails. Even then there are not many important things, only new job notifications. The rest I get notifications via WhatsApp and email. For digital life, I really like saving data on Google or GDrive. Because the data stored is safer and can be accessed at any time. Unlike data stored on a laptop, it needs to be opened when the laptop is opened. I also like to use designs in Canva, because if the design is made there, it is easy to revise and check by many people.
How to organize digital life in the future? Coincidentally, next week, I start working as a personal assistant to an official in Indonesia. What is the job? More or less the same as the previous job. Still focused on social media and content analysis and news. A little fun, I can do this job from home. I don't go to the office much. I can focus on healing after work depression.
I have set my daily agenda in Google Keep. Luckily, Google Keep is not only for work drafts. But, it can be used for a work checklist. I make a week in advance, what I will do. Google Keep helps me store data neatly. So, it can be documented well. I really learned, if data is often lost. By using gdrive, I can be calm without fear of losing data.
My gdrive is full of photos of my travels. I deliberately save it so that I know what I have documented. Oh yeah, I also have a digital shop on Etsy. Currently, it is blocked because I haven't paid the rent. It's probably been blocked for two months. In the past, I always took time once a week to learn SEO, design and build a shop. Notifications will come to my email. I will respond once a week. I also create scheduled messages when there are orders coming in. I don't need to send messages every time there is an order.
Scheduled things like this make it very easy for me. I can focus on my activities. That's all I can tell you. Laptops, the internet and other sophisticated technologies make it easy for us to work on a schedule. For me, this is a privilege to be and live in the digital era. Laptops or tablets are devices that are sometimes difficult to separate from our lives. What do you think? See you in the next story.
