How are you organizing all of your methods, studies, materials, etc?

I have an external hard drive, with everything in specific files. I have thousands of images as well.

After having a computer crash with all my IM stuff on it (lost most of it) I save everything to this drive. It has massive storage space so after 5 years of IM I never have to delete anything.

I run Windows, and have everything organized into folders named based on the content each holds. The handful of folders I require frequently have shortcuts on the desktop, and I place them near relevant program shortcuts. For instance, a folder that I place cool images on the internet to be later used in the creation of banners or other pictures has a shortcut on my desktop right next to Photoshop.

Also, I recommend using Firefox browser because it has several useful addons for web developers (color samplers), saving pictures (saving directly to certain folders rather than having to go "save as" then selecting the folder manually), and SEO marketers (SEQuake gives tons of information of the sites that pop up in SERPS, such as age and number of backlinks pointing towards the domain and page.And this is just a small sampling of what you can do with Firefox addons.

Hope this helps,

Honestly, I think if you have so much information you need some type of system to organize it then you possibly are suffering from information overload.

All of that information takes up space on your hard drive and in your head. Get rid of everything that isn't necessary for what you are currently doing.

Well that's my thoughts anyway.

Most of us don't need more information we need more focused action.

I run about 4,332 SEO tests per month (ok maybe not quite that much!) and I keep track of it all in Evernote. It makes it very simple.

Pretty much everything is stored on an USB Stick and on Evernote, Work for projects that I'm working on are on the desktop until completed and then archived again on a usb stick.

I create folders on my desktop and orgainze them accordingly.

Fore example if I saw some great information about seo my folders probably would be Internet Marketing - Notes - Traffic - SEO

Then in the seo folder I would have a word document saved as recommended websites for great content.

This is just how I would go about doing it....

As long as you find a system to organize your notes and information you find, you will accomplish more faster then the average person here.

On a computer just like a normal person does so...

Delete it all so you stop wasting time trying to organise it and focus on actually doing something productive instead. Be honest with yourself how often are you going to read that information you've stored anyway? Since saving it have you read any of it so far?

All my files are stored on my password protected folder and i use AVG PC tune up to regularly clean, explore, search, remove duplicates from the folder.

i have an external harddisk drive with special folder for determine files.

I am also having lot of files and images, but saved on three different computers. Plus an external hard disk drive. Oh! yes I also started writing my daily activity in my diary from this new year(2013), which is helping me a lot since three months to move towards my goal. Small steps... lol
