Organize Documents By Type

_Inbox

Simplify the amount of folders you use by organizing your documents into folders by type, and only creating albums, groupings, or project folders when necessary.

  • There are a million and one ways to arrange files and folders on disk.
  • Some might argue that spending a moment even thinking about it in the age of desktop search is unnecessary.
  • That may be true, but some semblance of order will clear your desktop and your mind and make you "ready for anything."
  • Over the years I've come up with a six folder structure for "My Documents" which I create on every computer I use without fail.
  • This scheme accommodates every file I might come across, keeps my desktop clear, smoothly fits in with an automated backup system and also makes command line file wrangling a breeze.

Avoid Naive Make Believe

🌱 Life • 📁 Life Lines

Now I am a young man, I see cracks in the steel. If they ask you to stand, well they just want you to kneel. - Jet

Now I am a young man I see cracks in the steel
If they ask you to stand, well they just want you to kneel
If you don't know what you want then you just have to take it all

Hey man, you gotta understand
I got the world in my two hands
Hey man, never goin' back, never going back

Come on come on
I don't need anyone
To tell me what to believe

Come on come on
Shout it out everyone
You can't tell me what to believe

Come On Come On - Jet - AZ Lyrics

Analyze And Advise Ideas

🌱 Life • 📁 Life Lines

But if all of that isn't built on your own original ideas and truthful analysis, it doesn't mean anything. - The Whale Movie

  • I know these rules can feel restraining.
  • But remember, the point of this course is to learn how to write clearly and persuasively.
  • That's how you can effectively communicate your ideas.
  • At this point in the course, I have given you all that I can in terms of structure, building a thesis, paragraph organization.
  • But if all of that isn't built on your own original ideas and truthful analysis, it doesn't mean anything.
  • Think about that, as you write and revise. Think about the truth of your argument.

Respect Other Groups And Outsiders

_Inbox

People may often do inconsiderate things when they are in groups, and people who strongly affiliate with one group of people may naturally want to harm outsiders who are not in that group.

  • When people get together in groups, unusual things can happen — both good and bad.
  • Groups create important social institutions that an individual could not achieve alone, but there can be a darker side to such alliances:
  • Belonging to a group makes people more likely to harm others outside the group.
  • In a study that recently went online in the journal NeuroImage, the researchers measured brain activity in a part of the brain involved in thinking about oneself.
  • They found that in some people, this activity was reduced when the subjects participated in a competition as part of a group, compared with when they competed as individuals.
  • Those people were more likely to harm their competitors than people who did not exhibit this decreased brain activity.
