How To Organize Your Virtual Workspace

Managing Your Blog

Blogs are great, management systems like Wordpress make life easier for us. Although Wordpress is great, it can only take us so far. You may have files on your computer flooded with so many different things, be it graphics for your site, plug-in zip files, that best selling ebook which you started writing but you haven’t finished etc… The fact of the matter is, that it all piles up.

Organizing It

Today I really felt like my files were getting out of control, so I decided to arrange them in different files on my PC, these are the names of the files I used

• Small Fish Content
• Small Fish Graphics
• Small Fish Projects
• Small Fish Resources
• Small Fish Themes
• Small Fish Transfer
• Used Plug-Ins
• Un-used Plug-Ins

Methodical Approach for a Clear Mind

You may ask, why use so many files…but it boils down to the fact that I know exactly where all my files are, if I need a picture I created a month ago, it’s in the graphics section, if I need some documents, it is in the content section etc… But it is not finished just yet, the next step is to classify all of the sub folders and files, I just had to double check that everything I had put into the folders was useful. I did this because sometimes you just save files to a random location and you know you are probably never going to use them.

Spring Cleaning…

It is not spring but it is good to do a cleanout of your files every month or so, it keeps your mind focused and it keeps you on the ball, ready for the next blog post. An essential part of blog management is also ensuring that your hosting files are also clean and are not cluttered, I will probably be doing this in the coming weeks.
