How do you stay organized?
Submitted by devillibrarian.
I find it eerie that someone with the name "librarian" asks this. I took info sci and part of it was classifying and keeping your data in check so... You really looking for tips? seriously?
Okay, here's showing I have some sympathy for the devil.
- naming conventions, they are your friend. Practical, not esoteric.
- file folders, those help.
- never clean your "sent" box of email and create extra folders in outlook for recurring themes and usual suspects.
- familiarize yourself with search methods for every system you use. Search for the same things in several different ways in your spare time. In no time you'll be quick like a bunny!
- notebook, page open to blank page with some sort of 'date' reference. One pen on the ready and several in the wings.
- Uh. Hmm. Take your time. Rushing causes disorder and it's hard to keep track of things when you feel 'pressured'.
