It’s A Bit Anal Retentive, But It Works!

I’ve always been HUGE on document management. It is particularly important given that I manage several documents because of school and losing a single document could result in being late on an assignment which just isn’t okay.

How do I manage my documents? Folders! Folders are your friends. I have a specific folder labeled as School and in that folder are sub-folders for each of the classes that I’m taken or have taken. Within those folders are folders labeled Assignments so that I will never run into any issues trying to locate an assignment that is due.

On top of that I have another sub-folder labeled Text which contains all of the PDFs that are sections of my text which are necessary to complete my assignments. It might sound like a lot BUT to be honest it’s such a time saver. I don’t have to ever utilize the search function on windows nor do I ever freak out wondering where an assignment has gone or where a piece of text has gone in the midst of completely an assignment.

So here’s my question for you—how do you manage your documents on your computer? Why do you utilize that method or methods?
