Occasional Thoughts
I'm always thinking, and sometimes I'm even writing.

Categorize My Life.
I thought I had this figured out. All last month I focused on simplifying, minimizing, and organizing my corner of the digital world.One major part of this was creating a simple and usable folder system to categorize my life. I want to use this folder system for my email, my online bookmarks, all my computer files and documents, and everything else that needs a "place."Here's my current list:- 01 Mars Hill
- 02 FamFriendsEtc
- 03 Jim, Inc.
- 04 Education
But I'm not sure if it's the best. Because technically "Mars Hill" is a part of "Jim, Inc." but since it's the part of "Jim, Inc." that I spend most of my time and attention on (and receive the most consistent paychecks from) I gave it it's own file.FamFriendsEtc works decently well as an email folder, but not the greatest as a computer folder.And where do pictures and music go? (On my computer I've created an "All Media" folder for all things media.) Writing and speaking obviously fits in Jim, Inc. but what about design work? Should that be collected in one space or just wherever I use it (for this website thing, for that Mars Hill thing, etc.)?What it comes down to is this: I need your help. From what you know of me (and if you don't know, feel free to ask), how do you think I should categorize my life? Your words could aid to my lifelong organization.(A similar conversation could be had for the use - or misuse - of tags/categories on a blog like this...)Ready, set, help.- 2 March 2010
