Let me paint a picture.
You sit down to work, ready to crush your to-do list. You're focused. You're caffeinated. You're channeling that “I’m a CEO, baby” energy.

And then…
You spend 12 minutes trying to find the file you just had open yesterday.

You check your desktop. Your Downloads folder. That folder called “final-final-client-assets-v3.”
Nothing.

Now your vibe is ruined, your iced coffee is watery, and you’re wondering why you’re always playing digital hide-and-seek in your own business.

If this sounds familiar, your messy desktop might be costing you more than you think.

Here’s how that digital clutter is quietly wrecking your flow:

1. You’re Wasting Time You Don’t Even Realize You’re Wasting

A minute here, five minutes there. It adds up. Searching through mystery folders, re-downloading files you swear you already had, trying to remember what you named that Canva graphic… it’s a silent productivity killer.

If you’re losing 15–20 minutes a day hunting for stuff, that’s hours per week that you could be spending on literally anything else.

2. You Keep Recreating Things You Already Made

Ever rebuilt a graphic, form, template, or SOP because you just couldn’t find the original?
Yep. Been there.

It’s not just annoying. It’s draining.
It kills momentum.
And it makes your business feel way harder than it needs to be.

Templates are meant to save you time… but only if you can find them when you need them.

3. You’re Stuck in a Loop of Digital Overwhelm

When your computer is a digital junk drawer, it’s hard to think clearly.
The tabs, the folders, the random screenshots. It all adds up. And suddenly you're spinning your wheels on what should be a simple task.

This is where burnout loves to creep in.
And let me tell you, burnout (while a great new song by SKSK and Taylor Hanson) doesn't care how cute your desktop wallpaper is if your brain is fried.

So What’s the Fix?

You don’t need to spend three days color-coding your folders or inventing a whole new productivity system.

You just need to start small.
Start intentional.
Start cozy.

That’s why I made the Cozy Tech Clarity Checklist — a free guide to help you get a handle on your digital space without the overwhelm.

What’s Next?

Once you’ve cleaned up a bit, you might be wondering:

“Okay… but what files should I actually have set up to run this business like a boss?”

I got you.

Final Thought From Your Digital Systems Sidekick

You are not lazy.
You are not behind.
You’re just working in a digital space that wasn’t designed to support the CEO you’re becoming.

That changes now.
Let’s clean things up and make your systems match your ambition.

Light a candle. Start with the checklist. I’m with you every cozy-click of the way. 💜
