Is your computer a mess? saved a thousand and one items and can't find any of them?
Your computer is only as efficient as you are, is all your paperwork neatly filed at home?
well then if it is you already know how to sort and organise, the principle is the same on computer as it is in a filing cabinet, you simply file each item in a file as you would in a filing cabinet, however it seems that a lot of people cannot apply the same principles to a computer as they do in their everyday life.
They simply download and save everything any and everywhere, on the desktop, in my documents in random files, and they hoard a million and one items they don't need, cluttering up their computer with useless information they don't need or want any more, in a location that they cannot find, as your computer gets overloaded with all this junk you no longer find it efficient to use as you spend mor and more time looking for an item, my suggestion is to clean it up organise everything in folders so that you can instantly access the item you want in the folder you created here is a simple filing system for you to create, which should work for most people. follow the steps below.
- Go to your my documents folder open it up now right click your mouse anywhere in your my documents foldergo to new and click folder, this will create a new folder name this folder with a label you can remember the same as you would name a folder in everyday life with your paperwork let's name the first folder correspondence, leave the folder closed now look around your my documents folder and drag any item that relates to correspondences you have had into this folder by draging it to the folder icon with your mouse and letting go of your mouse button when the folder changes colour after you have dragged the item to the folder, you can also drag many items at once by holding the control key down and selecting as many items as you like to go into this folder and dragging all of them at once. continue until all of your correspondence items are in your correspondence folder
- Having done that, you can now continue cleaning up by creating other folders in your my documents folder such as say a bills folder, educational information folder, or any other folder the principal is the same for all.
- Do you need to separate your correspondence that you have just moved into the correspondence folder by name or any other category? simply open your new corrspondence folder that you have created and follow the same steps as before right click and create a new folder and name it.
