Spring has sprung and besides sending our minds into thoughts of warm weather and picnics, we also need to be thinking about organizing our online files.
Is there more clutter on your computer than in your office? If you are constantly trying to find a file on your computer, it's definitely time to get organized. It shouldn't take more than about 30 seconds to find the file you're looking for.
Here's two great tips for easily organizing files on your computer:
- Create Folders - Get in the habit of creating folders on your computer for the various categories you use in your business. These could be things like forms, presentations, clients, etc. Then when you have a new form, presentation or whatever, you can immediately put it in the appropriate folder.
- Create Sub-Folders - You may have a folder to which you have sub-categories. Take presentations, for example. Your main folder would be presentations and the sub-folders might be listing presentation, pre-listing presentation, buyer presentation, etc.
This process works great for photos and graphics, too. Create a main folder for communities and sub-folders for individual communities in your market area.
The main thing to remember about your file organizing spring cleaning is that once you're organized, stay organized. Otherwise, you'll find yourself getting frustrated and wasting time trying to find something instead of being outside enjoying the beautiful weather!
