• Do files. Most files in your desktop - scattered text documents. Create a system and distribute them under the scheme.
• Divide home and work. Do not let your desktop on a personal disorder.
• Do not use your desk as a warehouse. If your paper threatens to bury you under its own weight, ask additional folders, boxes, or put a shelf County office box.
• Be wires. The computer and telephone wires - is currently in distress in the workplace. Potrat just half an hour, and with the assistance of additional pilots do you get rid of this wires.
• Think about health. If your table is too dirty, you can not contain it in the proper purity, and breathe dust deposits that accumulate on it.
• "Cleaning" Get once a week time to bring order to your table. Do not wait indefinitely. Ustraivay once a month general cleaning.
• Where find it. Fingertips If you have paper towels and cleaning fluid for universal surfaces, your job will always be clean.
• "Where will I go." Singling out place on the desktop to any subject, not to reinvent the wheel. Do not ask yourself, wherever you put it, asked him where you will go. Organize table logically, so that you do not have to remember where you put something, and so everything was at hand. The longer you reflect on those where it will lie stapler, the longer it then you will go.

Working with files is not so simple as it might seem at first glance. Here you download a file, you are sent a second file, but a handful of documents such as the backlog of a week. And so after a while becomes hard to find something that should really, and besides you have not Nobody can remember.

Yes ... more than the typical situation, I have not talking about the amount of free space on the disk, which periodically starting to really miss. And if you have reached enlightenment and doing backup, then surely those same backup would contain excess or unnecessary information to you, sorry I have no statistics on interest and demanded backup precisely the right information, and something tells me that among the total backuped This information will be very small percentage. Bill, we need a system, yes, simple system to organize files. It is only natural that you just do not want to move anywhere neither just nor send requests or just come, but not yet open file, that's OK, badly that and later with this file, too, nothing happens, it remains well lie in the place where once there, and that file, what he needs and is already blurred in memory's corners. That was, of course, and I have. Then comes the ship day and almost all of the files are sent to the trash. This is wrong. Let us, I will show a system that works with me and test to date.file system.

We will need catalogues Inbox, Action, Incubate, Archive and Install, which I recommend to place either on the desktop, or My Documents, generally in the most popular and convenient place for you.

Inbox - for any incoming information.

Action - a directory for files with whom you will work in Krynichka time, it typically files of ongoing projects.

Incubator - files that will need a few, perhaps a long time or files while awaiting decisions on their need.

Archive - already "spent" files that must be preserved for history. These are usually files are closed projects.

Install - it is NOT dump installation of software packages. As I once said, the ideal structure, which has proved its viability came from the directory structure FreeBSD, the typical top-level directories: archivers, cdrom, finance, multimedia, misc, sysutils, windows. Each installation package is placed in a directory showing the version of the program. For example, nero 8 will go to the directory c:\install\cdrom\Ahead Nero8. Thus entering directory will be quite a sight to identify whether the program is in fresh installs, and if necessary will be updated. Particularly convenient such a structure, if these installations used not you alone.

• Define the purpose and principles.
• Create a picture of the final result.
• Conduct a brainstorm (think of the decision).
• To organize the process.
• Determine the sequence of actions.
