5-Day Digital House Cleaning Challenge

Declutter your digital life with a 5-day email challenge designed to boost your online organization and strengthen your tech skills!



We all have organizing projects that we put off, and that’s just as true in our online life as in our closets and kitchens. In a recent survey, more than half of people over 50 report having trouble managing and organizing their digital information.

In this 5-day challenge, you’ll learn how to better control what digital information you share, the importance of password managers, how to store important documents using digital vaults, and more! We’ve designed each day and corresponding newsletter around a key topic, complete with classes and resources to guide you through.
