Digital Organizing
The Dream
You log on to your computer. You have a picture of friends, or travel, or your pet that makes you smile every time you see your background. You check your email and find new messages in your otherwise clear inbox. You respond to some, delete some, and move others to folders without a problem. You need to scan a document to send for work, so you run it through your scanner, printer scanner, or phone app and save it into the appropriate folder. You have a cloud system and some files stored on your hard drive, but everything is easy to find in categorized folders. You put your computer to sleep and move along with your day.
The Problem
Your desktop is a cluttered mess! You can barely make out your background image, and sometimes you just throw everything in to a folder labeled “desktop get to it later” which never happens. You have some file folders, but mostly documents and pictures are saved all over the place completely uncategorized and some of them unnamed. You’ve heard about the cloud, but you don’t know what it is exactly and what you should or shouldn’t be storing there.
The Solution
Organize to Excel has long been helping clients sort, purge, and create filing systems specifically tailored to your needs. Much of the time we are called in to focus on the physical files, but many of us have just as many if not more documents saved digitally. It’s important to be able to put your hands on any piece of paper you need, and not have papers cluttering up your workspace. This is just a true for your digital files. Even with the capability of searching digitally, you still waste time and effort looking through files and folders, and it just as frustrating when you can’t find something you’re certain you saved.
Organize to Excel can help you save time and frustration by sorting, purging, and creating a filing system specifically tailored to your needs for your digital files as well. Best of all, this can be done remotely, via videoconference.
Together we will:
– Create naming conventions for your files so you know what to search for
– Create folders with hierarchical structures
– Move files off your desktop so you can see your background photo
– Decide where is best to save your files (locally vs. cloud or both)
– Purge old and outdated files
How We Helped Our Client
“I learned things from Organize to Excel in a few minutes, that I hadn’t known over years of using AOL. They helped me create folders for categories of email, they taught me how to delete a series of emails without clicking on each and every one.
They were kind and patient, with a sense of humor. I’d recommend her to anyone – they were really good and I thought the money I spent was really worth it.”
