Mac Organization – Introduction

I’m currently writing a series on mac automation and I figured this would also be a good time to go into more details about how I keep things organized on my mac. But I want to take it a step further and go into detail about how I keep pretty much everything I deal with on a day to day basis organized.

I’ll also write this as a series, with multiple postings outlining how I keep files organized, how I keep up with information and data and how I keep up with other things involved in my life.

I won’t go into much detail in this introduction as to what I’ll write in the series, simply because there’s just so much to write about, that I may miss something. So I’m simply going to write about topics as they come to mind.

The following will be part of this series:

  • Email
  • Files
  • Projects
  • Bills & Finances
  • Appointments & Calendars
  • Raw Data
  • Bookmarks
  • Domains

I’m sure there are plenty more, but as I stated above, this is simply all I can think of for the moment. So as they come to me, I will write about them. All of my posts will include detailed information as to how I handle that particular portion of my digital and real world life, what I use to keep organized and how I do so.

Keep in mind that my techniques may not work for everyone and I’m posting them simply as a way to help others jog ideas for their own situations. If you have anything you’d like to add or ask me about with any of the above, please do so. I’m open to discussion and very much appreciate it.
