Tips by Maggie Dickow
Having an organized desktop (life?).
How long does it take you to find last year's Chapter 3 Assignment Sheet, test, quiz,
or notes? Yes, you did save what was created last year and it wasn't too bad, but you did
leave yourself a few notes for improvements. Now if you could just find it in that list of
stuff you have on the hard drive. Creating folders for "My Documents" could be
the answer to quicker searches. Folders can be created for whatever topic suits your
purposes. No one can tell you how best to organize your work, by class, by grade, by
semester, by topic, any of these would be reasonable organizers. Something, anything that
would help you find things faster would be an improvement.
