Listen "Stop Filing and Start Finding your files and emails with Dara Sklar"
Episode Synopsis
How’s your computer looking right now?
Can you find what you need in a couple of clicks? Or do you spend a tonne of time looking through files and folders trying to get a hold of something important that you know you’ve saved somewhere but just can’t remember where, or even what the file name is?
You’ll be pleased to know, there’s actually a way you can simplify your approach to storing and retrieving digital information, and you don’t have to do anywhere near as much organising as you think to make this process really smooth and easy to action.
A lot of us slip into a habit of filing digital things that can (much more) easily just be searched for.
You don’t have to micro-manage your files like we did 10 or 15 years ago, as long as you’re naming your files right.
When you start to think of FINDING as the goal, not FILING as the goal, you can start being smarter in how you name files, and how (or whether) you label emails. They don't need to be filed, they just need to be found.
Now I know this is outside the realm of usual thinking for most of us, so I’ve got someone on the show today who’s going to make this so easy to understand and implement.
My guest today is a Google tools pro and master of improving efficiency through digital organization. Dara Sklar is like a tech-savvy Monica Geller, but is a lot less demanding (and shrill 😂). She’s the friend you call for tech help.
Dara is happy to jump in and show you time saving tips and hacks that you’ll wish you knew sooner. Using her in-depth knowledge of Google Tools to help business owners work more efficiently, Dara can identify the behind-the-scenes disorganization that’s slowing your business growth, ruining your ability to delegate, and eating up time you don’t have!
If you’re already using Google Workspace - and I certainly do, I use Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, Forms - Dara can show you how to use it in a way that’s more organised with less work, so things can flow smoothly in your business while you focus on doing the stuff you love, and the stuff that makes you more money!
Tune in as we talk about why we let our digital information organisation get so cluttered and overwhelming, how to find, not file your emails and documents, and where to start interns of making it easier to find things.
