About Dodopia

Dodopia is a personal blog focused on practical guides to AI tools, productivity apps, and smart digital workflows for daily work and life.

This site was created to share tools and systems that I have personally used to stay organized, work more efficiently, and simplify everyday digital tasks. I have a background in computer science, and while I no longer work directly in the field, I remain deeply interested in technology and enjoy testing tools to understand how they work in real-world situations.

All articles on Dodopia are based on my own experience using these tools, including what worked well, what didn’t, and how I integrated them into my daily routines. The goal of this blog is to provide clear, honest, and practical insights that help readers make better decisions about the digital tools they use.

All content on this site is original and written by me.

Google Drive for Students: How I Used It to Manage Everything in One Place

College life comes with a never-ending list of files—essays, slides, readings, lab reports, and group projects. At first, I saved everything on my laptop desktop. You can guess what happened: things got lost, corrupted, or forgotten. Then I switched to Google Drive , and honestly, I wish I had started sooner. It became my central hub for everything academic , and here’s how I used it to stay organized, avoid data loss, and collaborate more easily. Why I Switched to Google Drive One day, I lost a nearly finished essay because my laptop crashed. It was due in 2 hours.

Trello for Students: How I Used Boards to Stay on Track With Group Projects

Group projects used to stress me out more than exams. People forgot deadlines, duplicated work, or waited until the last minute. I knew we needed a better way to organize and communicate. That’s when I started using Trello , a free project management tool that works like a digital bulletin board. It helped my group stay on track, meet deadlines, and (finally) avoid chaos. Here’s how I used Trello for group projects in college—and why I still use it today. Why I Chose Trello for Group Work At first, I tried using shared Google Docs and group chats. It helped a little, but it got messy fast. There was no clear task list , no deadline tracker, and people kept asking, “What am I supposed to do?” Trello solved all of that with one simple concept: cards on a board . How I Set Up My Trello Board for Projects Board Title = Project Name For example: “Marketing Strategy Presentation” Lists for Progress Stages To Do In Progress Review Done Cards for Tasks Eac...
