Five Tips for Organizing Electronic Writing Files

September 14, 2015 by Colleen Wietmarschen Leave a Comment

It’s “National Love Your Files” week so I’m putting together some videos and other tidbits of information to help you come up with your own system or use some of my hints. Love your files – organize them and you’ll love yourself when you’re searching for important client work or a draft of an article you want to publish, etc.

Life and business really is more relaxing when we’re organized so I’ve put together a video for organizing your electronic writing files. I know, I know, after a long day who wants to organize files, but if you have the folders in place and make a habit of putting the files in the correct folder as you save them you are way ahead of the game.

Here are my folder suggestions but feel free to name yours for whatever works for you:

Writing Folder

  1. Notes & Ideas
  2. Progress
  3. Completed
  4. Feedback
  5. Research

What’s your process for organizing your writing or other electronic files? Pete and I look forward to hearing from you.

About Colleen Wietmarschen

From introverted child to successful businesswoman to triathlete at age 50, finished a duathlon at age 60, violin student at age 54, and completing a 300-mile bike challenge in 30 days, I aim to face any challenge with an open mind.

As a speaker, I enjoy conveying my vast wisdom of business experience; from running a quarter million plus business to restarting after 18 years, believe me, I've seen it all. I like to bring energy to every engagement and inspire the audience with stories interspersed with value-packed knowledge. I also enjoy being a guest on podcast interviews having lots of fun interacting with hosts and sharing information from restarting my business after 18 years to taking up challenges in my 50s, and more!

I love consulting clients and mentoring students inspiring them as they move to their next level - whatever it is for them.

My favorite quote is "Music Makes Us Human." Author Unknown.
