Organize My Canva week 3 task: Create a Plan. Free/Paid offer - Join the community!

Hello Reader! I made a quick 2 or 3 minute video to help share with you this week's task (and to recap the last two tasks) https://www.loom.com/share/24cdf7f61b0640de9fdd9bc6e32dcdbc?sid=0323cfca-aaa9-4cad-9f2a-3d6f7a3f8cd3 TaskIn August, I'm focusing on helping you organize your Canva files (and this will become a course later on).
Now that it's week 3, we're going to estimate how long it should take. Then we can get down to actually filing our files. As I scroll through my Canva, I have about 150 designs and 30 images, so about 180 items. In the video, I rounded up to 200 but the idea is still the same. How many images do I think I can sort in a sitting and how long will it take me? pssst...Also remember that you don't have to organize every file. If you have really old outdated files you don't want to delete, you can put them in an Archive folder or a Unsorted folder for posterity. Yes, it's ideal to organize every file. But, keeping it real, there's a time/benefit cost ratio. How much is it worth to spend the time organizing? It's worth spending some time now to save yourself time later but only for files you actively work with. There may not be a benefit to organizing files you won't use again. In the video, I said if I organized 20 items in a day, that would take me about 10 days. But maybe I can only sit down for short chunks of time in between other demands on my time. Maybe I can schedule a few hours to dedicate to this project. Also, chunks of the files will go quickly because they're all related and singleton one-off files will take a little longer. As I work, I can keep revising my estimate. But at least now it's a known quantity. That's so much better than this nebulous cloud. I find uncertainty much more overwhelming than even a big number.

Hi Reader, There’s something special about January. I love the lights and the cheer of the holiday season but I also like the way everything thing feels cleaner and simpler after all the decorations are taken down and put away. It’s a quiet breath and time to pause, just like nature. If you're feeling a little slower right now, that's not a problem to fix — it's a season to respect. Winter is nature's pause. Roots grow underground. The soil is rejuvenating, getting ready for seeds in the...
Have you ever noticed how monsters are scariest when they're hidden? It makes me think of the movie The Mist (from a Stephen King novel). The monsters are terrifying but the worst part is you can’t see what’s coming. Or there’s battle tactics where smoke grenades are thrown to block visibility. Or speaking of scary movies and horror films, one of the reasons things are so scary is because you can’t really see them. There are flashes here or there, or shapes hidden in the dark, only partly...
Hi Reader, Now that the frenetic energy of gearing up for back-to-school is passed, my boys and I are now settling into our new routines. The temperature is starting to turn cooler, and the rain is coming (I’m in the Seattle area). Honestly, I find it kind of difficult to focus in August. My brain is still in summer mode and the kids are still home from school. We’re getting school supplies ready but I don’t have the rhythm yet. Now I’m settled in and ready to look at wrapping up Q3 and see...
