Hello everyone! I am Liang Qian!

This article is divided into three parts:

1. Collect network resources
2. past classification patterns
3. Correction and extension
4. practical use

【Collect network resources】

I admit that I am not a very generalized person, if you are like me,

Then timely collection of network information may be an important key to helping you take the first step!

A few links and keywords are sorted out below, let's take a look!

1. Date/Time/Location is Keyword
2. Make good use of the same classification model (that is, this method can be applied to any data)

The following are web resources:

[Past classification mode - overlapping categories lead to confusion in the data]

I used to use school/drawing/photos/videos for titles like this. It seemed normal, right?

But take a closer look... did you spot it? There may also be photos in the school, and there may be paintings in the homework. . .

That is to say, when your top-level main categories overlap, the data will start to clutter,

When you don't know how to classify, the computer will gradually become disorganized, and even when you look for files later, there will be a tragedy of not being able to find files!

【Modification and extension】

Next, I will use the files I usually use as a classification, and attach a mind map.

In terms of categories, I divided them into five categories, namely video, creation, memory, report, and project.

Again, it should be noted that the classification method must be consistent, including file naming, folder stratification and so on.

(That's right~ Additional supplement!)

This method is suitable for: students, creators, and people who document their lives with images

Because I haven't fully entered the workplace, there is no classification method for work files. If you are a professional, please leave a message and share it with me!

Image—

This may be the place that most people don't know. After all, sometimes I want to just pat and record it.

As a result, as the time stretched, the photos and videos were all mixed together, and it was a mess!

In this part, I mainly focus on time, and extend photos and videos; from the photos, I extend people/landscapes/transfer selections (store the edited photos here). As for videos, they are divided into materials/transfers (slightly edited) Or for videos with stabilizers, organize the material when you have time, and it is convenient to cut the film at that time).

Creation creation—

This is the most complicated part, because I operate quite a few accounts, so the folder is divided by website or creation method, so that we can understand the changes and progress every year, then it is faster to look directly at the picture below!

Memories Memories—

I am used to recording my daily life with audio and text, so I opened a folder to store my memories, including some card texts and important conversations written to others.

Report report—

The report is divided into simple PPT and Word files, which are also distinguished by year.

Plan plan—

I love planning, it helps me have a clearer direction for each next step,

Generally, it is to store some formats for easy printing, or if there are new ideas that need to be completed slowly, they will be unified and planned in advance.

Material library—

Sometimes for presentations or creations, sound effects, vector graphics, color matching, etc. are often needed. There is a place to store materials, which is less difficult to download and organize.

【practical use】

So grab a piece of paper and pen now and write down your classification!

Or draw a mind map with X-mind like me, it can also help you think more clearly!

The clutter of files is probably a trouble that most people have had before, and they often feel exhausted in the face of huge data.

I was also in the process of compiling this article, and I slowly learned about my habits and the main cause of confusion.

Last but not least, thank you to everyone who read the article!

If there is a better way, please share it with me in the comments below!

I'm Liang Qian, see you next time! Bye bye 😊~
