THE MONTHLY PAGE 👩🏻💻 November 2024
Tech wallpapers, calendars, + resources to help you focus for the month ahead.
Welcome to The Monthly Page for November! Election month is *finally* upon us, and I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels like they’ll be holding their breath until it’s over while simultaneously wishing we had more time to keep registering voters! 😅
Before we dive in to all the resources I’ve created for you this month, here are a few quick reminders ahead of the election:
🤝🏻 Help people get to the polls: Offer to drive people. Offer childcare. Remind employees that they can prioritize voting. Do what you can to ensure your family, friends, neighbors and colleagues are able to vote.
🗳 Check your Registration: Put in your information, and this website will tell you if you are currently registered to vote. If you aren’t, it will walk you through the steps to register. It’s important to check, as people are sometimes purged off voter rolls.
🏛 Find Your Polling Place: Not sure where to vote in person? Put in your address and this site will tell you exactly where to go on election day.
🔔 Get Election Reminders: Local + state elections can be easy to miss when so much attention is on the Presidential Election. Registering here will send you updates via email and/or text.

☑ SYSTEMS REFRESH: Prep yourself for the month ahead with my quick 15-minute routine:
📅 3 MINS - Review your upcoming schedule to assess where you are spending your time. Does it align with your priorities?
✅ 3 MINS - Look at your projects and tasks and make sure everything is up to date. Anything you need to update or delete?
🗃 3 MINS - Curate the files on your computer and phone (including photos you took this month!). Delete things you don't need. Does your information feel organized and accessible?
📝 3 MINS - Look through any paper notes or random bits of info you collected last month. What digital system could you move it to so it doesn't get lost?
🧼 3 MINS - Clean your work area, wipe down your desk and monitors, and when you're ready — update your phone and computer wallpapers (see above for files!)
