If you’re the sort of person who finds organization boring, hold on! Today’s episode will be a real treat for you. It’s so much easier to think of organizing your files, emails, or any other item on your computer from the point of view of making things better and easier for a “future you”. But, what if you don’t even know where to begin? Well, that’s where today’s episode comes in handy – thankfully organization comes naturally to some people, and today’s guest is one of them! “We don’t know what we don’t know” is a popular quote for a reason – so get your notepad out and get ready to write down some brilliant, easy hacks for getting your productivity back on track.
Our organization guru today is Dara Sklar, a productivity expert who specializes in the Google Tools that you use every day, like Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, Chrome, Keep and more. She’s that friend you call for tech help, like a tech-savvy Monica Geller, (but is a lot less demanding and shrill 😂).
