How do you stay organised?

Hi all

I have noticed over the few months I have been working online I have hundreds of files, etc that I have dowloaded, created, etc. How do you keep track of everything? Are you as unorganised as me or do you know where everything is? Is your list of bookmarked sites huuuuge?

I know what you mean. What I do is I have one folder named downloads. Everything I download goes into that folder first. Then I create subfolders according to the subject. For example, articles. All my articles now go into downloads\articles.

The reason I put everything under the one download directory is because it is much easier to backup that one directory instead of 500 separate directories. Plus I know where everything is at.

Not the best, but it works good for me..

Just put everything into a folder and sub-folders. With the main one on the desktop to avoid clutter. With the bookmark issue, yeah I have a bunch too lol.

 

Like the others said, your best bet is starting a system that allows for you to stay organized and most importantly stick to it!.
I had stuff all over the place so I took a rainy sunday, sat at the computer and organized the hell out of it. At first it was hard to remind myself to put things in their proper place and I found myself moving things around only like once a week but eventually it became second nature and now my desktop's cleaner than my apartment... but that's a whole other ball game

 

Keep everything in your files.

Is this really complicated?

Then put all the crap on my desktop, and have 22 "New Folders (22)" and have 1 folder called Web Site to put the "important crap"

I have a very organized way of doing things

 

Keep everything in your files.

Fixed it for ya.

 

LMAO! He's pissed. ~

 

I dont.

 

I make sure to go over everything I have save after a while and start to delete or move everything I don't use to another folder.

 

just save it in your folders and label everything so that you won't forget.

 

It is difficult. I usually clean and organize my files every month or so but in between my desktop is filled with stuff. Lol, Going down my folder list: "Crap", "Shit", "Junk", "New Folder", "New Folder (2)"

lol i'm quite unorganized but after a good organization I will have everything categorized maybe three or four folders deep.

 

You need to open a word file where you keep your articles,a separate file for your download and download them to a memory sandisk to keep your computer clean, they cost about $9 for 2Gb of memory. Also use Roboform to store all your log-ins.

 

the best thing to do is have a separate hard drive for all your info.....and one for your OS installation and just name your folder for easy access like i have a specific folder for all my online work and stuff like that....hope this help....

 

Ok think I need to set a side a rainy day (which is most days here in Scotland) and get organised.......and stick to it

 

Keep all files in your computer's (D:drive)

 

hi,

daily tasks list of important things that must be done daily.

 

i do exactly the same thing except i'v another hard drive instead of my documents, really it's not that hard just organize your files based on your sites name or what ever you want
