My files are not well rganized and it is really bugging me. Before I go through and organize everything, I want to know how you organize your stuff.
In documents I currently have tons of random crap, but I cant make a folder for stuff like it cause I have a lot of stuff that doesnt have anything else like it if you know what I mean. And in pictures I tried to make it so I ony have a few folders including, events, vacations and stuff but I always get random stuff in their and I dont want just a huge misc folder! So tell me how you organize! |

my personal organization system (caps represent folder names):
TEXT: text files, or anything that's not a graphic/video/music file. this does not include layout coding. if there are multiple users, i first create a folder per user before i make the following: - SCHOOL: homework/classwork - WORK: work files that you need to bring home - PERSONAL: random stuff that's important to you - MISC: random stuff that doesn't fall under the above PICTURES: computer graphics (including web layouts) and photographs - PHOTOS: raw files imported from camera (this includes videos from cam also) ----- NAME OF CAMERA 1: ----------- YEAR 1: ----------- TEAR 2: --------------- EVENT 1: --------------- EVENT 2: --------------- EVENT 3: events include birthdays, vacations, concerts, etc. anything that doesn't fit in an "event" (for example, random camwhoring) would just fall under the main camera folder. ----- NAME OF CAMERA 2: ----- NAME OF CAMERA 3: ----- NAME OF CAMERA 4: my family uploads from 4 different cameras - GRAPHICS: any graphic/vector that was created by yourself (includes manipulated photos) ----- VECTORS: saved completed vectors ----- PHOTOMANIPULATION: saved completed manips ----- DIGITAL ART: saved misc. digital art ----- WORK: anything that is work related ----- PLAY: anything i'm currently working on (WIPs) for fun - STOCK: any photos that were not taken by your own camera - LAYOUTS: all images for a personal web design layout, including coding for it, with each layout saved in its own folder. any layouts that are created for work, however, would go under "work". VIDEOS: this folder usually just contains saved clips and/or full movies, so i just save in folders named after titles MUSIC: music files, whether ripped or not - RENAME: i leave a folder in there to put in newly downloaded music that i have yet to rename and organize. anything that is randomly acquired (like if a friend sends me a file) or if i'm saving something only temporarily i leave it on the desktop so i could remember to delete it later. |
