Digital Minimalism
About this work
A 2018 walkthrough of Kraig’s approach to organizing computers, cloud storage, and online accounts. It covers file structure, photo and video archives, Final Cut projects, browser and desktop habits, and email. The aim is a simpler digital workspace with fewer distractions; the services and storage choices describe the setup used at that time.
