Mapping your digital space
.png)
This is what my digital space looks like. Very categorized, like my life and apps on my phone. On my phone I have everything in groupings like: money, social, car, work, school, etc. I like to be organized and not have to search through a million pages just to find what I want. This describes my dads and brother phone. Every time I go on their phones I practically have a panic attack. The disorganization is real with them.
When finding the apps I use for each category it was actually hard to think what I truly use. I am sure there are more but I cannot think of them or they weren't important enough to make the cut. All the apps in my map are apps I use on the regular. I frequent Facebook, snapchat and dating apps the most. Yet I do not have notifications on for Facebook. I check it once daily, maybe post something but otherwise I am passively scrolling through. I use Gmail and google slides the most daily for work. I have my email up all day at work and then check it when I get home. To make sure I do not miss anything important. I am a little crazy, some would say. I do not reply to work emails after work but I will look. Facebook messenger is categorized under visitor because I only check it when I get a notification. Otherwise I rarely use it. Most the time it is my brother sending me some silly video. I put Yahoo on there because I do check this from time to time. I only use it for personal use and most of the time it is just junk email. I have a few things starred that I need but otherwise I check and forget. Maybe it should be in visitor because I only check when I get a notification.
I would say out of all the apps in my map I use snapchat the most. Little addicted but I send such cute photos of my animals! Next would be Facebook and then dating apps. I would also say I tend to use them more on the weekends than I do during the week. Once I get home from work I am exhausted and there is no room for social media in my brain.
In case anyone was wondering, I used google slides to create my map. I love google slides!

Hey Kelsey!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the way you laid out your digital map. It is so easy to understand for a visual person like me. Are there any apps or websites that you use in both your personal and professional time?
I too am someone who loves to keep things organized, even the apps on my phone. All my apps are categories and put into folders/categories. I like your idea of not having notifications on. This may be a game changer for me to maybe not check my social media as much. Thanks for the idea!
Were there any of the applications listed that you use both personally AND professionally, Kelsey?
ReplyDeleteHello Kelsey!
ReplyDeleteI love your digital map and thanks for the tip on Google slides. I have no idea about some of the apps you put on your map. What is the one that looks similar to a honey comb? I had to do a Google search on some of them and couldn't find that one. I also have my email up all day or constantly check my Gmail on my phone. I am finally realizing I have an addiction to checking it. I hear the notification sound and it's like Pavlov's Classical Conditioning but with email dings.
