There comes a time in
   the life of every student

Adverbs of degree

when inevitably, they'll
lose some very important

school file and then they'll
  have to make an excuse

put my on flash drives
 and then inevitably

But when I got to college,
   I got my act together

I never once arrived
to a class and realized

I didn't have an assignment
  I needed to bring with me

I wanna show you system
for organizing my files

that I built over the four
   years I was in college.

We'll talk about the best
   ways to store your files

the actual hierarchy of
 folders I built in my computer

and also ways to organize
   your paper files.

So, first let's talk
  about file storage.

I recommend using a
 cloud storage system.

And the one I've been using
  for multiple, multiple years

And their free option comes
 with two gigabytes of storage

which is pretty much good
   for anybody who isn't

gonna be doing design or a lot
 of photography or video work.

as well as app that is
accessible through the browser.

means that even if you
 forgot to bring your computer

you can go to a computer
lab in the building,

Now in doing some
research for this video,

I did some poking into
  other cloud storage options,

and I wanna say that
  Google Drive is also

Reason being is that Google
  Docs actually gives you

so it's a heck of a
 lot more free storage

So if you already use
Gmail or Calendar a lot,

or you like to write papers
 collaboratively in Google Docs

Whichever one you choose
will give you the option

as something that will
   work really well for you.

I've got multiple folders
   that each represent

My next level folder
 separates everything by year,

and after that, I have
 everything separated by class.

I usually keep all regular
assignments just sitting there,

but projects get their own
   special folders as well.

This well designed tree
structure ensures that

I'm always able to find the
  files I need right away,

rather than hunting around
   a giant jumble of files

on my Desktop looking
   for the right exact name.

and this applies to every
 organizational system you use

is that you have to
 be constantly vigilant

but then when you're
   working on an actual paper

it's also really easy
 to save that document

that you're gonna
 have that jumbled mess

you wanted to avoid
  in the first place.

and make sure you take
 that extra 30 seconds

to find the correct
folder for an assignment

and also give it a
 name that makes sense.

I know a lot of students
   will make multiple copies
