Foldering

[timepiececlock]

As I slowly reinstall all my processes into my computer, I've been doing what I like to refer to as "foldering." Bascially, foldering is when I go through all my files and I organize them into folders of almost the smallest category. No lumpy groups of mismatched program files all in one long list I have to scroll through on my start menu... everything is made clean, and neat. And as I install new software, I set up new folders categorized within the start menu each time, so I don't have clutter. This actually takes a horrendous amount of time. I haven't even started on my website bookmarks yet... that will take a few hours to sort through. Especially the anime sites, which tend to go cross-category. Buffy too.

If I have a BtVS website that has fanfiction, fan vids, and screencaps, do I sort it into the video folder, the fanfiction folder, or the general btvs folder? How do I label it in the future so that I know it has any number of those things?

good ideas

Yeah, it does. I think it's best to break it down by general show/topic, and then by Fanfic, Video, or Miscellaneous. And anything with vids on it, regardless of what else, goes in the vid folder, since that's what I download the most of from specific personal websites.
