Canada’s meeting place for freelance writers and creators

Established 2010

These days, we all have digital DNA filled with an unwieldy amount of data. Photographs, social media accounts, blog posts, and old news reports fill mobile phones, tablets, hard drives, and the cloud. This results in the digital clutter problem, a largely invisible issue hidden inside sleek mobile phones and invisible data storage.

Join us for a Lunch and Learn webinar (or a Breakfast Lesson webinar if you're on the west coast!) called Declutter Your Digital Data on Wednesday, May 22nd at 12 noon ET (9am PT) and author Angela Crocker will teach you how to declutter your digital life.

The session will be based on on Angela’s three year personal digital cleanse. Strategies to declutter data, organize information, and sort out accessibility combined with methods to keep the digital “paper tiger” under control will give participants actionable steps to put into practice immediately.

Angela Crocker has been described as a pioneer of ethical social media, a business savvy digital goddess, and an information organizing superhero. She’s also been called the Ann Landers of the online world, making sense of the sometimes confusing digital domain. She’s the author of five books including the 2018 release Declutter Your Data: Take Charge of Data and Organize Your Digital Life. Learn more at AngelaCrocker.com and connect with Angela on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, or Twitter.

Freelancing was, I believed, a buffer against the financial instabilities that seemed guaranteed for those who entered adulthood during the Great Recession of the mid-2000s.But for…
