Hi all.

I'm running into a serious problem. This forum has been so awesome, my desktop is getting clusterfucked full of little notepad files of great/solid information from this forum and links followed from this forum.

If I put all this into one notepad/word file, it will be nearly impossible to refer to a specific tip later. If I put it into excel, it will hard to follow the information (some notepad files have 10 pages of content).

For those of you collecting information to better yourself, how do you organize? Is there a specific software product you recommend to manage all of your clips of information with reference links?

I'd be very thankful if I could find something to help me organize. Every day it is becoming harder and harder to find the information saved in these files.

I'd like something that would help me manage keyword lists, blogging tips, website tips, seo tips, blah blah blah via separated categories.

My desktop and I will thank you. There's free useless +reps in this for the first two people who can help me organize. LOL
 


Errr...

There are those things called "directories"?

And you really need to learn that the desktop is not the only place on your computer to put things.

Also, if all the harddrives your explorer shows you is C: Yer in for a nice surprise once your computer goes belly-up.

Either you need a "computer for dummies" book or I completely misunderstood you.

I have 1TB of disk space amongst 15 drive letters. Whether I put all these files on the desktop or drive F:/Notes, I still have the problem of referencing all the data quickly by opening all the files to find the information I need.

I am going for a central source to put all of my data instead of having 1000s of txt files all over the place "organized" by folders. It just isn't practical when your trying to build information on thousands of niches.
 
I use a simple HTML file, with a tags. Then just use it as a homepage and throw shit all through it
 
Yeah, my wife suggested this as well. You could even use active desktop to have the text on your desktop if you wanted.
 
Oh and I also got a whiteboard above my monitors. Write the more important stuff up there and the lesser important in my HTML file
 
You could also go with a Wiki. There are several free Wiki's out there somwhere.
 
I have the same problem, the more information you get the longer it takes to organize and the harder the task becomes.

I guess the motto is don't put off until tommorrow what you reallly should do today.
