  • Spending a few minutes to reflect on how you do things can pay dividends in many unexpected ways. In this video, I share how I use the PARA method to keep my digital life organized and how you. might want to do the same in the coming year.

    I’m a FB junky when it comes to all things Apple. I admit I find I always go back to you for information and learning all I can. I’m 75 and enjoy your presentations so much. So thank you and Happy New Year

    Rich, when you posted your video about the PARA method of organizing your files, I immediately jumped in and organized files this way. I love it!! It has revolutionized my organization and ability to find things when I want them! I find that I use this on a daily basis. I do like the idea you shared about moving or making a copy of the items in your Project file into the Task section. Great idea! I really appreciate all the videos you have shared for us Seniors to help us stay organized, which allows us to live a more efficient lifestyle. I am all about efficiency and streamlining chores and activities. Thanks again for all you do. Wishing you a very Happy and Prosperous New Year as well!

    Happy New Year to you and your Family! I’ve been on computers and tablets for many years, I know the programs well. But I enjoy hearing how others use them as I transition into retirement. I’m glad you said that you don’t need to learn those tough shortcuts, at this stage we don’t need them. We really don’t have to, they can’t make us, we’re retired. 😂 a coffee mug I won’t let go of. 😊 Now, if only we could get Quicken to grasp that concept! I’ve been trying for years but they don’t listen to me. Ciao, my friend! Enjoy those electronics, simply. ☺️ 🎉 I look forward to your next video. 🎥

    I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on new Mac laptops. Looking at getting a new laptop, as our MacBook pro is ancient in computer years! Corparisons of models available would be great!

    Happy new year Rich. Hope to see more interesting content from you in 2024 and maybe a song or two as well.
    I’m going to check and see if you have a tutorial on iMovie. I’m using that to try to put a few things on CZcams. Warm regards from San Ramon California

    • @RichBowlin

      Hi Ed! Happy New Year! Nothing on iMovie even though I made my first few videos using iMovie. Let me know when you have a video up and I'll subscribe.

    You explain things so well I wish we could sit down together and you could teach one. Oh1 class. Somehow I have two of the same exact emails that show up through Gmail every single day. I don’t want to delete my Gmail mail because I will lose all those connections I’m afraid, not one genius in apples stores or phone have been able to help me over the years.

    Thank You Rich,
    Great tips but may be above my pay grade to accomplish. Tech challenged guy here. Will attempt to improve but doubt I'm able to get as organized as I just saw.
    Happy New Year!

    • @RichBowlin
      @RichBowlin  Před 5 měsíci

      I'm sure you can do it if you put your mind to it. It can seem like a bit much though. I'm filming a 12-part series on iPhone Basics that pulls it all together in a simple fashion for the iPhone. If people find that series helpful, I'll probably do the same for the iPad. Happy New Year!

    What a wonderful video! I must say, all of your videos are wonderful. Your previous videos on the PARA, make such sense because they implement a conceptual approach and create a logical hierarchy. That being said, I watched the Reminders PARA suggestion and immediately wanted to update and rearrange some of my lists. My problem: I have a REMINDER list called, “Frequently called numbers” and want to move this list to the RESOURCES. I have tried drag and drop, but cannot get it to enter the RESOURCES heading. What are your suggestions? I can’t seem to copy the list and I don’t want to recreate my phone list! Thank you so much for your excellent presentations.

    • @RichBowlin
      @RichBowlin  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Sometimes I run into a finicky list that can't be moved. You might try creating a new folder, drag it into the Resources folder, than drag the phone numbers into the new folder. You might not know this, but you can create lists in the Contacts app that does the same thing. I'll be covering that in my next video.

    Thank you for all of your informative videos! I enjoy learning about tech. I wanted to ask, do you know of an Apple priduct that can read blood sugar? Thank you for the info. Happy😂Newyear to you and your family!

    • @RichBowlin
      @RichBowlin  Před 5 měsíci

      Happy New Year! I know Apple is working on a blood sugar sensor but nothing has been released. There are some rumors about 2024 or 2025 that the Apple Watch will be able to read blood sugar. I sure hope they figure this out.

    I do all this with my file cabinet and datebook. I don’t want everything screened.

    • @RichBowlin
      @RichBowlin  Před 5 měsíci

      I used to do all of that on paper too. Still do to some degree. But I just got tired of trying to find things when I needed them. For me, the iPad worked out a lot better. My 93 yr old mom has tried both ways and she till prefers paper.
