Although some researchers believe that "cluttered environments can help stimulate people's creativity and inspire people," but there is no clear example.
What we want to talk about here is the sorting and induction related to the computer.
In the age of information explosion, access to information is easier and cheaper, while access to effective information becomes more expensive. With the popularity of the Internet and the improvement of Internet speed, we can quickly obtain a large number of movies, music, books, videos and other resources through search engines. When things that are easy to obtain are often not cherished, the possibility of these accumulated large amounts of resources being utilized is relatively small. The first rule of all sorting and induction is to be good at deleting useless resources. The required information can be obtained in real time through search engines or better network services.
(1) Information sorting
Mind map: visualization of brainstorming, graphic of divergent thinking
Recommended Baidu Brain Map http://naotu.baidu.com/
(2) Folder sorting and
classification: classify according to business content, such as By customer, by project, by department, by function, etc., the rules can be determined by themselves.
For example: development tools devtools, project documents documents, project code projects
are layered
large -> medium -> small For example: Book -> Chapter -> Paragraph
The level of each layer of folders should be the same
to avoid mixing folders and files, and put files as much as possible in the last folder
Keep the name
short・・・Easy to find
Numeric prefixes "01_xxxxx" "02_xxxxx"・・・Easy to sort
Date prefixes "20170308_xxxxx" "20170309_xxxxx"・・・Easy to sort
Custom prefixes "K01_xxxxx" "P01_xxxxx"・・・Easy to find
dates "20170308" can use pure date to name the archive folder
"_old" or "_bak"
abandoned
folder. The hierarchy of the shortcut folder is very deep and difficult to find. Put the commonly used folder as a shortcut and put it in an easy-to-find place
** * A description file needs to be generated for the archived folder
*** You can modify the folder icon appropriately
*** Currently Windows cannot add labels to folders
*** Email clients can create folders, so mail organization and folder organization Similar

history information (date prefix, date suffix, version, etc.) of the file content to
distinguish the official version, editing, and abandonment status (xxxx_work.docx, xxxx_fix.docx)
