digital clean-up checklist ⋆.˚🦋༘⋆

an all-inclusive guide for the chaotically digital girlies with a million screenshots and even more tabs open because "i will use this at some point"

1. quick clean (desktop)

start with a clean slate. drag everything on there into a folder called "sort later." we all know that you're going to spend hours looking through them and not actually cleaning, so starting off with a mostly blank desktop is the way to go. we can organize meticulously later.

delete those random duplicate files. you said you would get to them later. you didn't.

empty the recycle bin. i think that's self-explanatory.

2. a bit more thorough clean (finder/file explorer and browsing tabs)

screenshot purge. if you don't remember why you screenshotted it, delete it.

labeled folders are your friend. move important screenshots into labeled folders. move those downloads into labeled folders. put your cat photos in an imaginatively labeled folder: “cat."

close those random tabs. if you haven't looked at the opened tab in 2+ weeks, it's a good sign that you won't need it later either.

control-shift-D. if you're really that afraid to lose "potentially good stuff," just cntrl/cmd-shift-D. this creates a bookmark folder made of all your wonderful once-opened tabs. now, you can have peace of mind when closing the browser for good.

3. very thorough clean (notes app, downloads)

delete those untitled/randomly-made notes. a homework assignment you scanned a month ago? goodbye. grocery lists? gone.

delete those apps. if you haven't opened it in a while, it's probably just using up your phone/laptop storage.

clear the cookies (the website ones.)

go through the sort later folder. now's the best time, y'know?

restart your phone/laptop. since when was the last time you did that?

they say the spaces around you represent your state of mind, so how are our digital spaces any different?

I hope you can spend some time this week cleaning up your phone or laptop. I'm sure future you will thank you for it.

all best wishes, q's playlist

Me: Ah, yes! I’m finally getting my shit together :D

The nefarious fan:

[daylily-diary]

Going to sleep earlier. Drinking more water. Reading more. Hygiene. Spending less time on my phone. Studying. Protecting my peace. Socializing. Putting effort into my appearance every day. Bettering myself.

Soo I’ve been thinking about something lately and wanted to share, even though it feels a little vulnerable to put this out there. Might delete later..

Recently, I’ve been trying to put myself out there more, especially when it comes to meeting new people and making friends. I downloaded the Aceapp, hoping to connect with other asexual people, since it’s so hard to meet anyone who could understand me where I live. My island is so small, and people can be really judgy here, so it feels almost impossible to find someone who truly understands me.

But the thing is, my anxiety has been making it so hard to actually talk to anyone on the app. And the people there they just ask how are you? and OH you live on island where ? it must be nice and that's it. So I don’t know what to say or how to start a conversation, and I end up overthinking everything. It’s made me wonder if there’s something about me holding me back.I’ve never really fallen in love—maybe once in my life, I had a crush, I was really close to that person...but that’s it and it was when I was like 15. I had "a boyfriend" when I was 20 but only to have one to see, you know if I could have a relationship, but when He kissed me oh god I didn't find it appealing. So I was like maybe I like girls so at 24 I tried to date a girl It was even worse, and she didn't want to stay friends. Since then, nothing. I don’t even know I might be demiromantic or something else. And now, at 27 almost 28, I feel so stuck, like I’m just watching everyone else move forward with their lives while I’m left behind.

I really want to meet someone, I want to make real friends who get me, but I just don’t know how. I wonder if other people feel like this too. Do you ever feel like you’re the “stick” while everyone else is moving on? How do you deal with that?

And I know asexuality is only a part my personality is something else, I'm a querky nerd who fangirl a lot, love to stay at home and who doesn't have many friends.. I love my jobs and working. Still I don't know what to do or what to think... And am I the only one who is in this situation?

end-of-semester reset / rejuvenation

🌸 how i want to spend my break so it's productive, restful, and rejuvenating... 🌸

clear and clean all the surfaces and things i use that should be cleaned!! (e.g. desk, piano top, night table, water bottle [try to get into the habit of washing it every day 💧], washroom)

vacuum

get outside as much as possible. the soul needs fresh air 🌬️🥺

all the tasks i planned for the rest of the december study challenge (note to self: see journal index)

back up my files

digital clean-up (e.g. delete unnecessary files from desktop, unsubscribe from things i don't read)

fix the closet mess and organize it for winter ❄️

all. the. laundry.

change bedding

work on figuring out a proper wind down routine that works for me (ideally it should start after dinner and gradually decrease in stimulation level 😅)

fix! my! sleep schedule! (i have 2 weeks to move my wake time from 9am to 8am...or a few minutes before bc i hate the sound of zesty's alarm which nearly always wakes me up with a start 🚨😂 )

journal to answer these questions for 2024: where is my life going? where do i want it to go? what milestones should i be setting for myself? what should i prioritize? (i.e. setting/revising my goals)

set up bujo for next year and figure out how i'm gonna keep track of all the things i wanna do

read a short article on moral philosophy so i have a better idea of what i would be getting into if i take a course on it...

read a vaccinology article

DAY 3 OF GLOW UP DIARIES + let's glow up together 💋💋

So today was chill I spent more than 3h on my phone so I'm kinda disappointed BUT it's because I had to spend an hour for school there so it's not that bad. I ate what I told you about testerday + bought myself a latte macchiato cause I deserved it lol. I don't want to do my push workout aaaaaaah

What are we doing today ?

Learning how to motivate ourselves constantly!!

What I am going to do:

• Create a playlist for each HABIT I could need motivation over

• Create Pinterest moodboards too

• Watching even edits about characters that motivate me

• Visualize the results that will come if I keep showing up constantly.

What else ?

I unblocked my last situationship.... I AM SORRRRYYYYYY I PROMISE I AM TRYING TO BLOCK HIM AGAIN IN LESS THAN A WEEK MARK MY WORDS

Will give you tips on how to get over them when I'll do so 😘😘

What are we doing tomorrow ?

Throwing away things that no longer serve us ‼️‼️‼️‼️ (This one will be hard asf, see you tomorrow babe)

Celebrate the wins

I am walking on my walking pads.

My goal right now is to increase my NEAT.

Although my exercise is now in a good routine, my weight loss has been stalled for awhile.

I noticed that despite my workouts, my daily steps is low.

Things I am trying to increase:

-store steps

-parking farther away

-pokemon go

-walking pad

[frangipani-wanderlust]

The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. And clearing my debts is gonna be way more than a thousand, but I am happy to say that I have taken step one.

It’s the little things sometimes… today I finished a paint-by-numbers, made a frame for the painting out of construction paper and hung it in the kitchen, made chowder for dinner, and cleaned the kitchen afterwards. Yay for meds working?? I mean yes I impulsively made a 6’ French braid out of paper because I’m too broke to go buy a frame, but I did also do some studying, and I hadn’t properly cooked in wayyyyyy too long, so… a win is a win 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’ll try to be more active again — I’ve missed all you lovelies <333

[starxzyz]

okay i’m ACTUALLY locking in

[sapphire-imeo]

feeling sporty?

I am! I've been wanting to start tennis for a little while now. I'm excited to start now that theirs warm weather! I've noticed the sporty fashion trends recently like jerseys, sports logos. chunky sneakers and of course active wear so adorable! are you hopping on this trend?

[landofmoa]

It’s never too late to start again. Time is an illusion

Getting my shit together, DAY 2

There wasn't ALOT of progress today . I had tuition all day so I had to attend those

Next up my mom told me some nasty things and I cried about it instead of studying, which is fair because it is important to let your emotions out.

After my very last class I did some homework and now I'm off to sleep .

Couldn't practice my instrument today so I'll make up for it tomorrow.

Good night moots:)
