Tech Primer #3

There are great chances that you would need to handle many files eg. PDFs, lecture slides, e-books etc in your daily life. You need to keep this data flow under control. For doing so, you must manage them properly in good folder structures. Sounds obvious? Sounds trivial and unnecessary? No, it is not. If you are doing it already, its great. However, if you are not doing that, get ready to be frustrated when you start experimenting with new technologies. Organizing digital space would add to your comfort levels and relieve your stress when you have to make system wide changes.
Try out online tools and cloud services:
Learn about the different ways you can share and store files using google drive. Also check out google’s online office softwares like docs, slides, sheets etc. Explore google forms. Utilize the power of cloud services. Keep your documents backed-up. You can also check Microsoft’s online tools. Use CamScanner and online conversion tools like smallPDF. There are many options. Don’t limit yourself to what I say. Choice is yours. Try Grammarly for improving your writing. It’s so damn cool. Make a point to check out new tools whenever possible.
Again, this is not a thing to do in one go. Keep these things in mind as you proceed with other things.
