Do you end your school day buried under twenty-seven open tabs and a desktop you can't even see? You’re not just tired; you’re suffering from "Digital Overtime."

In this episode, we’re moving away from the "junk drawer" mentality of file storage and into a streamlined, intentional workflow mode. I’m breaking down the exact systems I use to protect my energy, stay organized, and actually close my laptop on time.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The Desktop Audit: How to use the 3-Folder Rule to clear your screen once and for all.

  • Browser Triage: Master tab groups and the 2-minute closing ritual to stop "tab fatigue."

  • Digital Sustainability: Simple naming conventions and cloud-first strategies to make your files easy to find—anywhere, anytime.

  • The "Plug": Why protecting your digital peace is the ultimate form of professional self-care.

Ready to reclaim your evening? Let’s get into it.
