One of the simplest and most overlooked aspects of being organized is getting your computer files organized. Every time you have to dig around for a document you can’t find or have to do unnecessary clicks to access a folder, you are not as productive as you could be. You are wasting precious time that you could use doing something that would help you move forward with your goals.

  • Create a system that works for you and stick to it—it is okay if you eventually add more internal folders to a main one, but be consistent on how you name parent folders and name files.
