I go nuts with my organization on my desktop, which is odd goes my non-virtual organization is, to be honest, very lacking.
I am a firm believer in two things, a clean desktop and an intelligent file structure. I try to keep my desktop limited to a dozen icons, which include commonly used programs and folders containing stuff I am currently working on. Many of my file structures are either broken down initially by date if it is something that occurs over the course of several years. This helps me keep track of what I did and when I did it. If it is a "project" folder the sub-folders are broken down by the phases of the project and drafts vs final versions of any documents I create. A key example of this is where I store all my music. The main folder is simply called Music, inside it is broken down by artist. In each artist folder it is broken down by album. This is a pretty simple example but it shows the overall concept my my structure for just about anything. It took some time to develop the system, but the amount of time it saves me was well worth it. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
