Drag there or back up Fall 2021 if running out of space.Įither in class folder via shortcuts, a webpage you code, home page of browsers or Notion or whatever, have links to all current necessary stuff Class video link, syllabus, textbook, notes. Make folders in school for all CURRENT classes, name that whatever makes sense to you if you have like MATH-4262 and MATH-3528. Make sure your thesis and stuff is backed up. Set school browser to either ALWAYS prompt where to save, or default to school root folderīut a short cut in Downloads (or mac version) to school folderįind your backup system of choice. Sync school browser bookmarks with school email. Have either two user accounts, school and not school or at least two seperate browsers. Personal suggestions, keep in mind I'm on Windows so set up may differ.

Plus it's running out of space - my laptop and my capacity to handle all this tbh. Really, my brain feels like a clutter of all that has happened in the past 2 years and looking at those things while I sit down to work doesn't help at all. But I've no clue to how to start deleting things in a systematic manner so that it won't take a lot of time. I bought an iPad for grad school last month so some of the stuff is synced. I have started cleaning a few times but I end up getting distracted by something emotional and I start reminiscing the time period and how I could have done things differently, etc.

I barely had anything on my laptop.īut after COVID hit, my classes shifted online, had some summer schools, workshops, made posters, took way too many screenshots, applied for visas, applied for grad schools, shifted countries, so I have way too many documents, downloaded multiple copies of files because I was almost always burnt out.

I have been meaning to clean out my MacBook and iPad for more than a year now.
