Mission: Computer Organization
August 27, 2007
Well it seems like Annette’s question really opened up a nice can of worms. As you can imagine, the more organized our computer is, the faster you can find what you need and this will lead to more efficient use of your precious time.
So, here is your mission should you choose to accept it (hee hee queue the Mission Impossible Music)
Take a look at the thread about Computer Organization and see if there is something listed there (either in my answer to the question or in the many comments that were posted) that you can do to ultimately save you some time and sanity while at your PC. Whether it is deleting old files, placing old files on a CD or totally revamping your folders and sub-folders, I want you to join our mission.
It will be easy, fun and very satisfying!
So take a moment to post what it is that you are committing yourself to do then come back and check in with us during the process or after the process is complete and let us know what you did, how you did and how you feel about it.

Okay, i’ve been putting this off for weeks. I’m going to do it tomorrow morning when the house is quiet and I can concentrate…. it’s definitely time.
And you’re right it’s so much more efficient when you can quickly find what you need.
I’ll take your challenge, Aurelia! Since I’m getting more work of a VA nature, I need to have my hard drive in tip top shape. So, this weekend I plan to move a lot of documents and zipped files onto CDs and data DVDs.
Way to go Mara and Mila!! Be sure to stop back and report on your progress!!
I will be carving out some time this weekend to weed out some of my bookmarks.
Alright, I’m in. I have TONS of unidentified stored objects on my computer. Can’t wait to clear them off!

Well I took your challenge even before I knew this was a challenge - lol. On Thursday of last week I was so tired of seeing all the old unused things on my desktop that I decided to take some time & go through them. After cleaning my desktop off I couldn’t stop there so I went through my ebooks folder & cleared a ton of stuff out of there, cleaned up my documents folders (and there were TONS of those!).
It was a nice refreshing feeling to see a clean desktop & my documents all organized & things put into proper folders :-)
Great Job Tishia!! I know it feels cozy to look at your computer now :)
