Digital Organization for Dummies Anonymous 08/11/2021 (Wed) 21:03:30 No. 5080
Do you have a good method of organizing files and programs on your computer? Is there an efficient way to do it, or is it all just up to personal preference? I feel like I've got far too many random images saved over the years to feasibly go through and put in this folder or that, and I've also got literal thousands of bookmarks that are just getting in the way of me efficiently doing things. Would it be better just to can them all and start fresh? How would I keep things organized from that point on?
You could fuck with hydrus but I don't like it.

>>5099 >Folders I do but I also have a bad habit of making new folders for stuff, tossing irrelevant things together, not naming them accordingly or usefully... >What do you mean? Yeah, not sure what I was asking with that. Generally I try to keep programs installed normally (Program Files) but some things (art programs, games, more niche utilities) are saved separately from that. Do you organize programs in any way or is that pointless, and better to just have them all in the same folder? >Copy the bookmarks you're not visiting to a text file and delete them from browser or whatever you're using I have actually done this before, they just keep piling up because I'm a neurotic retard. >Don't download / bookmark random garbage But I NEED to! Yeah that's obviously the main issue but then the question becomes what's worth downloading/keeping saved and what's not. That'll just take some introspection and careful thought. My questions are really more just what are good digital organization habits, and how can you organize things more easily?
>> 5173 >Do you organize programs in any way Not really >what's worth downloading/keeping saved and what's not My rule of thumb is "Will I use it?" If yes - save, if not - don't save
