I see so many questions on whether it’s too late to get into x or is it worth it to go full-time on y.

For the busy professional, the best thing you can do for yourself is to skill up, either at work or at home.

Here are 4 categories of skillsets. Focus on improving ONE for the remainder of the year.

𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: You can learn analytical thinking by taking courses on data analysis, statistics, business intelligence, or research methods.

🎙 Data Skeptic is a podcast covering critical thinking from a scientific point of view.

𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠: You can learn creative thinking by taking courses on creativity, innovation, design thinking, or entrepreneurship.

🏖 My favorite method to boost creativity is to take breaks - fast and often.

𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: These skills involve adapting to changing situations, overcoming challenges, and bouncing back from setbacks.

↪ You can exercise your resilience three ways: through storytelling, through gratitude, and through physical exercise - the fastest way to game your endorphins

𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲: This skill involves understanding and using various technologies that are relevant to your field or industry.

Today’s digital challenge - recoup 28 GB of space on your computer.

When was the last time you cleaned up your computer disk drives?

If you’re like me, the thought probably never crosses your mind until you’re asked to download the latest software updates.

And even then, it’s more like crossing fingers that it just downloads. Set it and forget it.

Turning into a Photoshop designer required tuning up my digital space.

In less than a week I cashed my remaining hard drive space and had to quickly find a way to store my GBs of film and photo edits.

🤔 I didn’t realize how large of an app Chrome was (~1.5 GB) or that photo sizes could really eat up memory quickly.

🤔 Optimal storage space for a hard drive is between 85-90% usage - which seems high.

🤔 For an SSD, it’s said you could exceed that percentage. I decided to get it closer to 80%.

🧨 I challenge you to take some time to clear up some space. On your laptop, your phone, or anywhere else in your life that remains neglected.

You will:

🕸 Improve your computer’s performance and speed

🕸 Reduce the risk of errors, crashes and slowdowns

🕸 Prevent hackers, malware or third party trackers from stealing your data

🕸 Save money and time in the long run

By clearing up my work space I was able to reclaim 28 GB by deleting unused apps, & transferring older docs to clouds & external disks. I only re-added apps as I started using them again.

It was hard to do. That’s why I know it’ll be a challenge.

Reclaim your s p a c e . Like clearing a closet I feel lighter, and in more control of an important piece of my digital life. Schedule some time to make it happen. If you can, aim for closer to 60% of disk space usage.

Make sure to follow as I share best practices for busy professionals to navigate the digital world every day.

To be 2000% honest…

Being a digital creator is not easy.

It takes

☑️ courage,

☑️ creativity,

☑️ and perseverance.

👉 Us entrepreneurs don’t have a blueprint or a roadmap.📍

👉 We solopreneurs have to learn from our mistakes and adapt to the changing market.

👉 As multipreneurs we have to experiment with new ideas and test them with our audience.

👉 Us self-employed have to find our voice and our niche.

👉 We freelancers have to build our brand and our community.

But being a creator online is also rewarding.

🍀 It gives us the freedom to express ourselves and share our passion.

🍀 It allows us to connect with people who share our vision and values.

🍀 It enables us to make an impact and a difference in the world.

🍀 It empowers us to pursue our dreams and goals.

And remember, we are all just making it up as we go. 🪂

I had a journalism professor once ask me if I thought the world was a mirror or a window. I chose window but looking back I don’t think we were even in the same boat.
