Organizing Files and Media on My Computer
A GON Reader Asks
Maria,
Do you have a recommended system for organizing all the files and media on my
computer? Something like your 'My Oh-So-Organized' resource, or could I adapt
that system? Thanks so much!

Maria Gracia responds...
Hi Michael,
Thank you for your note. Let me give you a few easy hints so you know how
I organize the files and media on MY computer, and then maybe you can adapt
and apply my method.
I manage everything using Windows Explorer and have four MAIN folders:
1. GET ORGANIZED NOW (where I keep all of my business files)
2. PERSONAL (where I keep all of my personal files)
3. PICTURES (where I keep all of my photo and video files)
4. MUSIC (where I keep all of my music files)
Within each of those, I have sub-folders. For instance:
a) In my Get Organized Now folder, there are sub-folders like Newsletters,
Presentations, Printables, Products, and Web Site.
b) In my Personal folder, there are sub-folders like Christmas, Health, House,
Scrapbooking, and Travel.
c) In my Pictures folder, there are sub-folders like Amanda (my daughter), Biz
Photos, Buddy (our pet), Clubs, and Vacations.
d) In my Music folder, there are sub-folders like Dinner Music and Zumba
Within those sub-folders, are all files pertaining to those categories. Some
of those sub-folders are further broken up if I felt there were enough files
to necessitate that. For instance, in my Scrapbooking folder, I have two
sub-folders in that...one for Layouts and one for Annual Retreat.
That's it. It's a pretty easy system. Also, when my automatic backup service
runs, it only has to back-up files in those four folders.
Hope this helps!

Say GOODBYE to Your CLUTTER
With My Most Complete, Easy-to-Use, and Effective
Clutter-Busting Resource Available
Goodbye Clutter
You won't believe how much lighter
you're going to feel!
For super quick details on how you can say goodbye to clutter, visit:
getorganizednow.com/goodbye-clutter-sl.html
All people have clutter to some degree. You may have a little. You may have a
ton. MOST people are somewhere right in the middle.
For anyone who has clutter, have no doubt in your mind that CLUTTER GROWS. Small
clutter challenges soon turn into large clutter issues.
Plus, clutter is sneaky...it doesn't only show up in the pile of shoes you may
have in your closet, the overload of toys in the toy room, the boxes of stuff in
the basement, or the stuffed-to-the-max drawers and closets in your home.
Clutter can actually invade your life in FOUR forms...
1. Physical Clutter
2. Paper Clutter
3. Digital Clutter
4. Emotional Clutter
Once clutter is here, it begins to wreak all sorts of havoc...
There is only one way to get rid of clutter...and that is by using a proven-
effective clutter-removing system. Only then will you be able to face clutter
head-on and have the clutter-free life you deserve.
Want to say goodbye to your clutter? I have just the thing you need for a
glorious, clutter-free life. For more details, visit:

productive. Here's how many organized people often start their day...
