Management of information dust in the conditions of its fast accumulation in the limited space

It is known that the unique annoying lack of the wide channel is shown in sudden loss of an empty seat on a disk. Those with whom remained compartments buy hard disks, but critical day comes sooner or later for all: it is necessary to clean something. Time hastily to look/listen/establish/read all saved up catastrophically does not suffice. It is better to rock at this time still something, whether not so?

However that not seen is lost in this dump is bad and you any more do not remember, that already had time to see, and that else are not present. You wish to put all it in order, but do not wish to spend for it time.

The decision idle time and somewhere even is deceptive primitively, but it operates. Something reminds GTD and does not demand any investment of time and forces. Only absolutely a little orderliness. And the main thing it will not force you to think much, and you again can swing, swing, swing...

So, each big set something, that we have just downloaded from the Internet (or at the friend), whether that had not time to hear/see and solve all it yet is necessary for us, all it we put in a folder with the magic name:

D:/Category/YYYY.MM.DD - Сomments

Where we substitute:

• Category - a dust category (photos, music, books, a porno or something there at you)


• YYYY - current year (2007, 2008, etc.),


• MM.DD - Month and day (it is obligatory on two symbols, it is important), date when we have rocked or have brought home all this dust. If day is not important - we pass day.


• Сomments - comments at will. A certain label or a tag, that will help you to recollect all that day when you have written down this dust (or that you used and with what mixed)

All. It is necessary to adhere only to a rule and sometimes (when there is a free time) not fussing to rake and after viewing/prowhispers to choose only one action from two:

• to Delete in a basket; or


• to Move to a constant place (or at once on a pig) (In a case with photos it is possible anywhere and not to move)

The analysis system can be the: since old (FIFO), from the freshest (LIFO) or in a casual order. The main thing to remember, that only folders with such names contain fresh materials which you did not touch yet, and all can be deleted the rest, архивировать or to keep on pigs.

In 6 months, if you adhere to system (and it is simple), you most likely estimate how much it conveniently, and possibly understand why the catalogue template should be such, instead of what another.
