During our Christmas holiday's... I made lots of notes, lots of "to do" type lists for the year to come. Amazingly, that was almost EIGHT months ago now!!!
Here is one of the things that I mapped out during that holiday... A TOTAL restructure of my computer directory:
This past week I have managed to make a major start on this project:
It seems such like SUCH a BIG job... these folders have been really messed up over about 9 years or so. They started all organised and in order, over time they've become a very big mess. When I worked in an office... I never gave much consideration to my home computer... all I needed was a thumb drive for each contract and a basic structure at home.
Today my home computer IS my WORK computer too... which makes it a whole lot busier.
Now that I have set up the new Directory Structure, I am all set to go on this project of cleaning up my computer. Whenever I get a few moments I continue sorting through the old folders. Transferring and deleting as I go. Even in just a few minutes here and there, at the end of the day, I can manage to sort quite a lot. I have broken down one very HUGE job into as many teeny tiny ones as it takes to get finished.
I have backed up all my folders to my external drive:
Already, working with the new and improved structure, I am finding it to be much easier and streamlined to find bits and pieces... it's in a logical (for me) order.
Hopefully I'll have it finished before the end of year twenty ten.
That would be really good.
Peace
