<!--
## Starting Strong -->

Digital organizing and decluttering can reduce stress and feelings of overwhelm that can block our success, enhancing our productivity and overall well-being. Let's begin Mod 4 by organizing and decluttering our digital files, inboxes, resources, and other digital assets!

## Digital Organization - Learn

What does digital organization look like? How can I get started?

Use these video resources:
- [How to Declutter Your Mind with a Brain Dump](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jqd4Ocex8CQ) (3 mins)
- [Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport, a Visual Summary](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJdZ7kmA2QQ) (11 mins)
- [21 Step Guide to Organizing Your Digital Life](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUZxNKTsBy8) (14 mins)

## Digital Organization - Implement

Use these prompts and tasks to guide your digital organization and decluttering process:

- What applications do you use the most in your day-to-day? Are they easily and readily accessible for you?
- Experiment with ChatGPT! Try a prompt like: "Pretend to be Japanese organizing consultant Marie Kondo. Help me organize and declutter my digital environment." You can even give more specifics if there is an area of your environment you're trying to focus on.
- What doesn't need to be front and center in your digital space? What could be housed elsewhere?
- Do you have the things you need backed up? Where do you save and store important information?
- Do you currently have a Job Hunt Tracker? Has it helped so far?
- If you don't currently have a Job Hunt Tracker, try one now:
ex. - [Hunter Job Tracker](https://huntr.co/), [Notion Job Application Tracking Templates](https://www.notion.so/templates/category/job-application-tracking)

## Social Media Visibility
Social media is a very effective way to connect and build your network. Use this time to get visible through things like posting content, liking and commenting on meaningful conversations, and connecting with influencers in your field.
<!-- You'll choose between LEARNING or TRYING to get visible on social media. -->


## Learn

How does social media fit into my job search? What does activity or engagement look like on social media?

### LinkedIn and Blogging

Take a look at some alumni Linkedin profiles to see examples of what activity can look like on social media:

### Community Connection

**Another great way to get visible is by getting involved in a community or connecting/following others.**

* Follow other devs. Engage with them online.
* Join groups and communities - online and in person!
