A virtual life uncluttered
In contemplating the idea of decluttering to discover untapped energy and create movement, one area which is frequently neglected is our virtual lives. A few examples include our home or office computer files, emails, cell phone contact lists, and even our web presence. We get busy, quickly creating data without analyzing how the data should be structured. This chaos creates a web of disorganized information which can really slow you down. The benefit of of taking a “pause” and looking at the time spent on virtual tasks opens the window of awareness. Each time we work with archaic or disorganized technology, time is lost and productivity decreases. Technology was designed to increase our productivity rather than decrease it. Over time we can become oppressed by the very tools that were meant to free up our lives. (Ask me sometime why why I chose to leave the IT world behind in search of a fuller, more abundant life!)
With that said, I have made the decision to move from form to function as a means of allowing technology to be synergestically entwined with my life vision. In the past, our website was updated using MS frontpage and Adobe photoshop. This tied me to a particular computer in my home office. By moving to a content management system (CMS) website and wordpress blog, data can be posted on the fly from anywhere in the world. This mobility allows for faster accessibility and presentation of information.
I’m embracing the changes, and hope you will join me as I provide you with many new features in the coming months ahead.
Here’s to an organized and progressive virtual life!
