How To Organize Computer Files By Eliminating Digital Clutter
Create Files
This is the easiest way to organize computer files… by creating files to store documents!

Do the same with your digital files. Create a digital filing system!
Title Documents
Whenever you title a document in your computer, make sure that it is searchable.
I recommend this because if you forget the exact name of a file, you can always search your computer to see what shows up.
I like to title the document then add a hyphen with other key words I might think to call said document.
