If your phone is chaotic, your Google Drive is a mess, and you’re constantly searching for files you know you saved somewhere, this episode is going to hit. I walk through exactly how I reset my digital life - deleting and reorganizing apps, rebuilding my Google Drive from scratch, cleaning up my desktop and downloads, restructuring my most-used work apps, decluttering thousands of photos, and finally fixing my Notes app so it’s actually usable. If your goal this year is to reduce friction in all areas of your life (same) - you'll love these practical systems that will help streamline your digital world. If your devices feel disorganized and you’re tired of wasting time looking for things, this is the full reset.
