Is your computer's desktop a jumble of shortcuts and apps you never use? Is your English essay hiding somewhere in your Borderlands 2 game saves folder? Is the word "backup" something you only say when playing co-op video games? If so, IT'S TIME TO STOP.

Today, I'll share a simple process for organizing the files on your computer - and keeping them that way. We'll build a simple-yet-flexible system of folders that will make it easy to find anything you need. We'll also talk about cloud syncing, the best way to name your files, backup options, and dig a bit into shortcuts and other ways to access frequently-used files quickly.
