Maybe you are wondering about the respond to this examine - just as the someone who recently voiced this question:
I would like to get my computer files organized. It seems that I have files all over the place and sometimes I have a hard time finding things. Is there a resource (book, for example) that can show us the best way to get our computer files organized?
Hard Drive
A book that I think is perfect is Gina Trapani's Upgrade Your Life: The Lifehacker Guide to Working Smarter, Faster, Better. She has a multitude of tips, tricks, and techniques - and her writing is also fun to read. So, her book is worth having if you want to learn more about Many distinct aspects of using technology, including organizing your files and hard drive. With that being said, I'll also add offer some of the ideas that have worked for me.
On a piece of paper (first), map out your My Documents (and I'll be using Pc language here - I'm sure Mac population reading this will have distinct terms). Anyway, think of your My Documents folder as the big folder where all things goes (and it is, basically). So documents formatted as Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Pdfs, or any other variety, i.e., all things needs to be organized in your My Documents folder.
Since you're writing this out, then you have My Documents at the top of the page. Underneath that, go ahead and write the general categories of things you do/work on. For example:
Articles Books Schools Teleseminars business (whatever your business name is) Accounting Tips Booklets Vitae Consulting
Write down anything the categories are for you. You can add more later, of course. For now, you are just trying to get an extensive sense of the categories you need.
Next, under these categories, write down any potential subcategories. For example, under your business name, you could have
Contracts/Speaking Agreements Proposals/Pending Clients Operations Manual Forms
and a bunch of other groupings. The issue to think about is: How does your brain work and how do you think of things? Don't worry about other people's language. It's your computer and it needs to be organized in the way that you think.
Remember: what is great is that you can always convert and move assorted items you're working on into distinct places. In general, however, you want to limit the amount of categories and the amount of sub-categories (and for sure the amount of sub- sub-categories. It can get ugly if you don't).
When I first started out with a hard drive, I had a Word category, a PowerPoint category, etc....but then I realized that when I was working on a project, I wanted to have all things associated to that scheme (Word docs, Excel docs, PowerPoint shows, mindmaps, Pdfs, or whatever) all in the same general vicinity. That's when I reorganized my hard drive.
When I was a professor and the three main areas of my work were
Teaching Research Service
...then I used those as my 'big three' and all things fell under those. Each of my classes was listed under Teaching and my assorted explore projects were listed under explore , and so on from there.
Once you have your categories mapped out and set up on your hard drive, then it's wise to start unquestionably captivating what you have into the new categories. Do this when you're uninterrupted and not distracted.
And remember, this is just the way I do it, which believe it or not, is not the only way. Or, gulp, even the best way.
