| WHERE DID I PUT THAT FILE?
|
Question:
I wrote an article last week and now I can't find it in my computer. How can I keep my computer files in such a way to be able to find what I need?
Signed: Steve in Los Angeles, CA
Answer: It is so easy to just click the 'save' button and move on to our next project. But what happens when you need to find that document again?
The first tip I can give you to help you find your files when your looking for them is to name them properly in the first place.
We always think we'll understand the abbreviated name we use. We don't. Not one of us. 
When it comes time to find it again we haven't got a clue what all those abbreviated names mean. It is important to spend the few extra seconds it takes to come up with the correct name in the first place.
Really decide what the document is. Give it the right name. Pretend you will not be looking for the file yourself but will send a monkey to look for it. The monkey has to be able to find the file. Make it that easy!
This also applies to downloads or documents you receive from someone else. Don't delay! Rename it something that makes sense to you before you file it. You don't have to keep the file named whatever they named it. Name it so YOU can find it!
Next you have to find out where you put the file. Again, a few seconds when the file is created can make all the difference.
Just as you have categories in your file drawers (I hope) you can have categories on the computer for your computer files. You can make folders and have sub-folders within your main folders.
When you save the file, pay attention to where it is going. You are offered to opportunity to 'browse' for the right place to put the file. I beg you to take that opportunity!
If the correct folder for filing it does not exist, MAKE IT! Again, using names that make perfect sense to you.
 This can apply to every type of file you have:
- Clients
- Graphics
- Documents
- Articles
- Photos
- Financials
They can all have their own folder right on your desktop. You will always know where to look for what you need. You will save tons of time and be so much more productive.
Think of all the hours you waste in a week looking for things! When you have an understanding of your filing system you will have those hours available to you for whatever you want. Imagine the possibilities!
Good Luck and Happy Organizing!

What is virtual organizing?
Virtual organizing is simply organizing I do with clients over the telephone
rather than in person.
How does virtual organizing work?
More often than not, it starts with a 60 Minute Office Organizing
Makeover. Someone who is interested in getting organized
virtually would sign up on my website for a 60 Minute Office Organizing
Makeover. Of course, you also have the option of just requesting
a consultation, and then we can just begin the virtual organizing without the 60
Minute Makeover.

In
Person Organizing
 When I come to your place of business and help
you to get organized, we set up systems within your office for dealing with all
of the organizational struggles and challenges you face on a regular basis.
We set up the systems and organizing plan based on the way you work and live.
