What’s in a File Name? Clean up the Computer and Filing Files Fast as part of Unclutter Your Life and Business Summer Challenge
Posted on 27. Jul, 2010 by Samantha Gardner in Computer Management, Life Management, Unclutter Your Life, Week 6 - Computer
Let’s just go today… (see Here for Yesterday’s steps 1 &2)
Step 3 – Rename files so that you will know what they are and use Capitals and dashes to help to be better able to read the names.
Example: Which can you read better?
samanthaezinearticle1
or
Samantha-Ezine-Article-1
It seems really simple but so effective in location items.
Now, I would never name the file above that way. I would name it based on the article.
Example: Which would you remember what the file is about better?
Samantha-Ezine-Article-1
Or
Ezine-Article-How-to-Save-5-Minute-in-Morning
Take the time now to rename files and get in the habit of naming them properly in the first place. This will save you soooo much time. I promise.
Tomorrow – we take it another small step forward.
