[ FIle Folders ]

Deciding how to file our information doesn’t get enough attention. By this I mean our personal projects and filing.

Large corporate projects, particularly engineering ones, have whole teams to sort it out. It’s our own project information filing that ends up in a heap.

I think there are basically three information storage nuts to crack: the email folder system, the (cloud-based) file folder system, and our handwritten or electronic notebook files. They need different strategies, but similar processes. Personally, I haven’t been able to rely on the ‘one storage folder’ and search function; I still like a logical folder structure.
