This Simple File Management System Changed My Life!

"The more granular you go..." Love this phrase!

Satya Nutella 😂😂😂😂😂

help i asked for easy

If you are using Excel in your file system on Windows you should probably not use [ & ]. Excel won't save files in folders with these names.

Appreciate it bro

what I tend to do more and more is have a MS Word docx for each project (sprint in IT) where I write everything. I add header formats and with CTRL+F, all headers are displayed on the left side where I jump back and forward. The end of anything I mark with --END-- header, and major section ends with //////////////header.

Loved it! It's already helping me find files faster with fewer folders and better naming. Any tips for organizing photos on Google Photos? Thanks!

Thank so much, It so helpful. 😊

How to organize gdrive or cloud folder to be use easily, eg write doc1 at office pc, edit doc1 at home laptop1, home pc, travel laptop, etc

This video was needed. Thank you

Great tips, going to update my Google drive folders now 😊

I hope you back up to a nas cause google bans people

This just shows how fd up Google drive is! That we have to go through this bs. There has to be a better way Google!

Thanks for giving us motivation to work

if we can just do it like notion no file will be unorganize

love it

THANK YOUUU for this😭!! just wondering, in terms of archive folders, so there's gonna be a separate archive folder set up for every level and every domain? are they all named identically?

give a recommendation for no code builder for administration and back-end systems ?

File name too long for date in my opinion . Today 08/25/2023. 230825_File_Name. Year month date and file name readable

Awesome video Jeff. I really enjoyed the part about the naming of specific dates and the subsequent explanation. Keep up the good work my friend.

when i say ive been seeking this exact type of content to organise my entire digital life....please do. photos, icloud, cross android and mac organizing as well , this kind content is v needed! Thaankkkkk youuuu!

omg !! YESS

I love ❤️ this VIDEO I needed to SEE THIS ⚡️🤙❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I would love this exact video for setting up Business organizations. It's very helpful to see how you organized this for yourself but am struggling setting up the same thing for my organization! Great video!

Fast, simple, effective, everything I've asked for. Good job man.

Sorry bro, its too complicated to store files this way ☹
If you find any other better way, please do share in future videos 🙏

Thanks so much. The best video I've seen on this. A question... What if we use Google Drive AND another cloud solution like Dropbox? And use folders on our computers outside of cloud backups?

I use Dropbox to store my photos and a lot of files. That's because I can store my Dropbox folder on an external drive. But Google Drive is great for other types of files and sharing with my team.
In an ideal world I'd put everything in a Google Drive, but the paths aren't always persistent on my Mac, which makes automation using tools like Hazel difficult.

What would you recommend?

if you want to know how to rename your files and folders like pros?
folders:- my-new-folder-movies
files:- my-awesome-resume.docx

All small letter. Thank me later.

How to give an option to secondary person to move files in our drive and disabling delete, share, download and copy option.

love the video and have successfully organized my work folders to this! One thing I've noticed is Excel doesn't allow me to save files directly in folder that has the bracket [ ], other office apps (Words, PPT) and pictures are ok, have you run into that issue before? I don't know if it's an excel thing or if it's a weird Windows folder vs Google drive folder type of thing

Yeah, sounds really useful. Ever since i can remember, my desktop has been one big mess. Always when i lose control (yeah i know lol), i create folder named [present date] and copy everything there from my desktop. My personal record is like 15 nestings. I do not recommend :'-) I'll give it a shot! Thanks Jeff! ❤

I like the video. First time to the channel. For normal banter it’s ok to speak at this speed. But it would be nice if you slowly down alittle when you are giving the instructions. It’s very fast and abit hard to process and a lot of rewinding involved to comprehend in detail so much anxiety when trying to follow the process. I don’t know if others have this problem or I’m just stupid. Hahaha.

damn, first video of jeff su and it is awesome.

This guy doesn't program, navigating these paths in a terminal would be the worst

bruh I browsed the Jhonny Decimal system website and I got a headache xD

Additional tip to this, use archive in sections by naming it with some period of life that is happening. Easy to reference on the long run

I find it frustrating that Docs, Sheets etc all dump into the highest drove directory by default. Not sure why they dont just implement an unsorted folder

Bro‘s playing files on hard mode

Can you speak Chinese?

If you start at L0 and end at L5 there's 6 levels. Regardless, I'll be implementing this gradually starting right meow.

i have such an obsession with this kind of organization thing omg

lol

5 levels deep

99 folders wide

Random numbering system

I'm glad it works for you bro

As someone running large projects/tenders, it was interesting to find that my filing structure is very similar to yours! I have been using yyyymmdd for a very long time and can’t understand people dumping files randomly into a folder!

One thing though, I would never using “2022 March” as “2022 Apr” would end up before it. Simply use “202203” if you don’t need the day. This said, in practice, I always include the day in case I end up doing multiple revisions in the future, just to avoid having to go back and renaming everything with a day or some other hack like “202205-2”. It also helps to stay consistent so other team members understand the logic.

Hello Jeff. I want to plan my tasks by dividing one year into four quarters, but I can't find a suitable program for this. What is your suggestion other than Google Drive?

This was pretty great Jeff - I'm curious though what tool you used to create the video? I'm wanting to create similar videos and I have my eye on some TechSmith products, but what you're using seems to be something better.

Interesting method, but I find the speaking pace of the video implies anxiety/complexity. I know you likely are trying to keep the video length tight, but speed isn't the way.

Hey thanks for the informative video and that you help us all out! Do you back up your notion as well, if so do you mind sharing the method with us?
Cheers

You are trying too hard with the accent.

It's funny how old ideas get recycled as new... And anyone who was alive and using a computer in the old MS-DOS 8.3 days knows what I'm saying.
