Lightning fast: In Microsoft Word, use Ctrl + the arrow keys to move through words or paragraphs quickly. Combine that shortcut with Shift to select text as you go.
Organize your inbox
Don’t let the junk take over your email. Take back your time with Clean Email instead.
I’d make a joke about Inbox Zero, but let’s be real – that is the joke!
But what if there was a way to cut through all the junk that’s sent to your inbox? Enter Clean Email, the digital decluttering tool you’ve been waiting for. With only a few clicks, you can easily delete emails in bulk – based on factors like how long ago the email was sent, size, sender name and sender domain.
Get organized
No more annoying promotions you didn’t sign up for or those other newsletters that you never read taking up residence in an unorganized inbox.
Clean Email bundles your emails into categorized “smart folders,” so you can manage them en masse — whether that’s deleting, archiving, or reading.
Unsubscribe sticks
Got subscriptions you don’t remember signing up for? Unlike other apps, Clean Email’s Unsubscriber feature doesn’t just automatically delete emails. It actually removes you from the senders list.
Read later – or don’t
Sort subscriptions into a dedicated “read later” folder. And with ‘Auto Clean,’ you can set specific rules like “keep newest” or “archive emails older than one week,” keeping your inbox pristine without lifting a finger.
Clean Email gets smart – and secure.
From newsletters to social media notifications, Clean Email filters and sorts, so you’re only left with the emails that matter. Clean Email will also make suggestions based on your cleaning habits to make the automation even more efficient.

This tool is 99% effective against malware
Too many cybercriminals are trying to worm their way into your system and steal from you. Even the most tech-savvy folks can be fooled. You don’t even need to click anything to download malware anymore.
That’s why you need powerful software to sniff out malicious files. I trust my sponsor, TotalAV. It’s simple to install and use, and it’s received the VB100 award for detecting more than 99% of malware samples for the last three years in a row. (Yeah, that’s a big deal.)
The best budgeting and finance tools for home and business
The Mint budgeting app has been folded into Credit Karma, owned by Intuit. It’s been around since 2006, so it’s a shame to see it go. Worry not! There are other options out there.
Don’t just blindly choose the first app that pops up when you search for budgeting apps. There are several factors to consider when selecting the one that fits your needs best.
r/Update: Reddit has been crappy to navigate on mobile for, well, forever. Not anymore. The latest app update makes it easier to get to the comments (what most of us use Reddit for anyway), watch videos and add your two cents.
Score: A bunch of fast-food restaurants have apps that give you discounts and free stuff. Here’s a list. Just know you’re handing over data, so the freebies aren’t really free. Worth it for french fries? Your call.
📱 Rx app: The FDA just approved Rejoyn, the first-ever “prescription app” for major depressive disorder. Crazy times, friends. The six-week app course offers cognitive exercises and therapeutic lessons for folks age 22 and up and currently on antidepressants. The best part? If you qualify when it goes live this summer, your insurance should cover it.
Using new software at work? Online learning sites like Coursera, Udemy and LinkedIn Learning can help you get up to speed quickly. YouTube is a solid free option. There are a ton of helpful tutorials out there. You’ll have to watch an ad or two, but that’s no big deal.
Traveling soon? Make a custom Google Map outlining your trip and share it — along with your itinerary and real-time location — with someone back home. Open Google Maps on your computer, then go to Saved > Maps > Create map. Pin each city you’re visiting or each stop on your epic hike.
Is that a library in your pocket? I like the Libby app for borrowing e-books, audiobooks and magazines from your local library, free of charge. Pro tip: If there’s a long wait for a book, look for it in a different format, like an audiobook.
Tech that’s changing the world (not just AI!)
“Kim, what’s coming soon that will change the world?” I get this question a lot. “AI” is a definite answer. But what about life changers that have nothing to do with AI?
Like this one. Infection after surgery occurs in one of every 10 patients. A genius high-schooler created a special suture that changes color when an infection is present. Amazing, right? Here are some others that I bet you’ll want to tell your family and friends about. Shout out to Reader’s Digest for compiling a great list.
Tech hack: Make your computer more useful with widgets
I’ve been writing this newsletter for almost a year, and somehow, some way, we’ve never talked about widgets. “Whoa, Kim! Too exciting for a Wednesday!” I know, I know. But trust me, you’ll be glad you spent a few minutes fiddling with your computer to set these up.
No Photoshop skills? No prob. Use AI to edit your photos
All right, let’s dive into the digital realm where your photos hold the power to amaze, inspire, and tell stories that words alone can’t capture.
But here’s the kicker — getting those images to shine and share your vision can often feel like you’re navigating a minefield of technical jargon and complex software. It’s enough to make anyone feel like throwing in the towel.
How to use AI to cut down on legal fees
As a small-business owner, dealing with attorneys means one thing: Spending a lot of money. I’ll never forget the lawyer I met with who charged $999 an hour. I wish I made that!
There’s a lot you need a real-life lawyer for, but there’s a lot you can do on your own with AI before opening your wallet.
Free privacy tool: See what your CAR collects about you
A new car has over 1,400 microchips and runs on 100 million lines of code. Because it is connected, it can also collect a lot of data about you.
