Let’s get digital, digital

As the school year progresses, your child’s digital workspace – their email and Google Drive – can become cluttered and overwhelming. Just like a tidy physical workspace boosts productivity, a well-organized digital environment can significantly improve focus and efficiency. Here are a few suggestions to tackle digital organization.

Declutter the email inbox:

  1. Delete old or irrelevant emails.
  2. Flag important emails for follow-up.
  3. Create folders for each class to organize teacher communications.
  4. Unsubscribe from unnecessary newsletters or promotional emails to reduce inbox noise.

Google Drive organization:

  1. Clearly label all untitled documents to make them easily searchable.
  2. Organize files into folders by class or subject. If your child is using Google Classroom, utilize its built-in organizational tools.
  3. Delete or archive files that are no longer needed.


By implementing these simple steps, you can help your child maintain a more organized and efficient digital workspace that will reduce stress and improve productivity.
