In today’s fast-paced, tech-driven world, disorganization—both digital and physical—can lead to missed opportunities, wasted time, and unnecessary stress. Many people feel stuck between cluttered digital files, overflowing inboxes, and stacks of paper they’re afraid to let go of. This interactive workshop addresses these common pain points by exploring how to organize digital information effectively while also evaluating the role of paper tools in a modern workflow.

Participants will learn best practices for managing digital documents, taming email overload, optimizing cloud storage, and selecting the most useful digital tools such as apps and software. At the same time, the session explores the benefits and drawbacks of paper-based systems and how a thoughtful hybrid approach can offer the best of both worlds. Practical organizational techniques for both digital and paper information are covered with an emphasis on simplifying workflows, improving follow-through, and reducing daily overwhelm.

This presentation is not platform-specific and focuses on universal strategies for both work and personal life. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how to choose, combine, and sustain organizing systems that match their work style, goals, and environment—so they can regain control, boost productivity, and de-stress their daily routines.

A fee of $90.00 per participant will be billed to each institution, which includes parking and continental breakfast.
