ABSTRACT
This chapter continues the distinction between digital notes and digital documents. It emphasizes seven principles for organizing an easy-to-maintain digital filing structure: (1) Work from a clean desktop; (2) Establish the services and define the purposes for each one; (3) Create a folder structure across each platform that is as parallel as possible; (4) Separate documents that support current projects from those which serve as reference material; (5) Establish a place for the most commonly used documents and make them easy to retrieve; (6) Provide a “drop spot” for new items until they can be filed; (7) Put reminders in the digital task list for documents that need to be updated or accessed at certain points in the year.
