Digital! Digital! Digital!

Tackling the Digital Jungle (Without Losing Your Mind)
Ever feel like you need a PhD in Password Recovery just to book a doctor’s appointment? You're not alone. These days, even the simplest tasks - contacting your council, applying for a job, or emailing a CV - can feel like a digital obstacle course.
The good old phone used to be our lifeline, but now it's all "press 1 for this" or "go online for faster service" - easier said than done when the website needs you to create an account, remember your password, upload a file (in the right format, of course), and maybe even prove you're not a robot.
So what can you do when it all feels too much?
Here are a few tips to keep you sane and steady:

• Start small. You don’t need to learn everything at once. Focus on one simple task - like attaching a file to an email - and practice it a few times until it feels comfortable.
• Use notes. Keep a notebook with steps you’ve learned, 
• Repeat, repeat, repeat. Repetition is your best friend. Don’t be afraid to go over the same thing multiple times. That’s how real learning sticks.
• Ask for help. There’s no shame in not knowing. Everyone starts somewhere - and tech is constantly changing, even for the “experts.”

It's okay to feel frustrated. But don’t let that stop you. You’ve tackled far greater things in life - this is just another challenge to chip away at. And with the right support, you can feel more confident.
