Desktop Tour 🧑‍💼 How to Stay Organized with just Windows

**The Importance of Storage and Organization**

As a creator of content, having adequate storage and organization is crucial to maintaining productivity and efficiency. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is by using multiple hard drives for different purposes. I have been using my WD Purple 8TB drive for video editing and it has worked flawlessly for around six months now.

**Benefits of Using Multiple Drives**

Having separate drives for different tasks ensures that if one goes down, you still have access to some of your data. For example, if my main data drive fails, at least I can still access my game files or other essential projects. This is especially important when working on large projects with multiple components, such as stock footage and ongoing projects.

**The Importance of a File System**

While it's tempting to just throw everything onto the hard drive, having a file system in place makes it much easier to find and organize your files. I understand that this may seem old-fashioned to some, but trust me, it's worth the effort. A directory structure helps you keep track of where things are and makes it easy to locate specific files.

**My Directory Structure**

I use a simple yet effective directory structure for my video editing projects. Here's an overview of how I organize my files: Under YouTube, I have subfolders for Audio, Clips, Graphics, and Projects. The Audio folder is used for background music that I've downloaded from Epidemic Sound. The Clips folder contains short clips from YouTube videos, including ads and montages. The Graphics folder has custom titles, animations, and illustrations that I've purchased from Envato Elements.

**Tips for Organizing Your Files**

Here are some tips for organizing your files:

* Use a consistent directory structure throughout all of your projects.

* Label your folders and files clearly to avoid confusion.

* Keep frequently used files in easy-to-access locations, such as the desktop or start menu.

* Use customization features like Windows' Quick Launch and Start Menu modifications to make your workflow more efficient.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, having multiple hard drives for different purposes and using a file system can greatly improve your productivity and efficiency when working on large projects. By implementing a consistent directory structure and customizing your workflow, you can save time and reduce stress. Remember to always keep your files organized and easily accessible, whether it's in the physical or digital sense.

**Desktop Organization Tips**

If you're looking for tips on organizing your desktop or digital workspace, here are some ideas:

* Use a consistent theme or color scheme throughout your computer and workspace.

* Keep frequently used applications and documents in easy-to-access locations.

* Consider using a project management tool to help keep track of multiple projects at once.

that's where i answer inquiries via facebook i answer emails and things like that so it has to be the the one that i see first here oh look there's the dog then usually secondary browser could see brave but comfortable kind of family known parts no components a pc builder and super useful yonder and ganagamit namin punk generator quotes there's no need to ask us directly like oh can you please quote me this do you have this actually uncomfortable components and to see what we have and how much and then madalina to check out kasich check out the builder brave also shows you ads but you get

you can find you don't need it to run games you don't need it for the caller accuracy from hard drive so for windows explorer right hand side so vertical actually have five drives it's actually four drives the fifth drive is google drive so it's a cloud name um i think it's 512 gigabytes let's check not even it's like a two it's like a 220 gigabyte ssd my c drive is a super small ssd drive my d drive is a one terabyte crucial mx 500. you're not on games my epic is there and my steam is there and things like that etung e is a hard drive for data storage it's a one terabyte hard drive for storage imaginable because youtube videos and all of these footage takes up a lot of space so recently wd purple and eight terabytes that's my storage f video explaining cctv drive okay panama for storage casino cctv drive funk cctv but i've been using this for around six months no problem with just basic storage and finally you do have google drive stored in the cloud but the way the interface shows it parang sorry drive locally so it's easier to access the information so tip number two is if you can have different drives for different purposes different drives also ensures that at least if one goes down you still have access to some of your data so let's say if my data drive goes down at least your game is that hasn't been my experience at all or at the shop matagal nerenton ssds and they're completely fine no data degradation their health is pretty good because of the channel and stock footage and ongoing projects and things like that so it's the first data drive c drive e under youtube basically what i'm saying here is to have a file system in place i understand that the current trend is just to throw everything onto the hard drive feedback search function but the trend now is especially among the younger users they don't care anymore where it's saved call me old-fashioned but it's really a lot easier to find your files and to organize them in your head okay directory
