Just because Leo at Zen Habits is a writer on Dumb Little Man, it doesn't mean that he can't write elsewhere. It also doesn't mean that I can't refer you to his personal blog. Heck we highlighted it in April.
This is a quick tip, but certainly valuable. Today Leo writes about how you can effectively organize your digital life. If you have any of these symptoms of a digital junkie, read his post.
- Do you have 20 or more folders and sub-folders in your documents folder on your hard drive?
- Is your list of Internet bookmarks long and overwhelming?
- Is your email program nearly full, or do you use more than one email account because of all the storage you need?
- Do you have multiple duplicates of photos, and is it hard to find a photo you need?
- Is your hard drive 75% full or more?
- Do you have multiple accounts for similar things, making it hard to find stuff?
- Are any of your digital file systems overwhelming?
- Do you have email from 5 years ago?
- Do you have project files from 2 years ago?
- Do you have folders of stuff to read that would take a year to actually read?
