We now have millions of people in this country who use their PC for their daily bread. While these PC users are dedicated and often depend on their PC for their very professional lives, they nonetheless often are relatively uncoordinated in their efforts and disorganized in their mastery of operations. Your PC, not unlike other business equipment, is complex enough to require planned usage and organized storage of its contents. Amazingly, however, it seems that there are no naturally encountered methodologies dangled in front of the faces of new PC users - to compel them to become advanced ones. That, then, is the goal of this article - mapping your PC.
Mapping simply refers to that process of organizing the storage and planned access to both files and applications - the tools and the work - in such a way so as to maximize their functionality, rapidity of access, and ease of use. Why is that important? Experts agree that a PC that is intelligently organized with functional pre-planning and file storage that is operationally handiest supports professional PC usage that results in superior productivity. So, how does one go about doing such analysis and mapping? Simple, think of organizing a clothes closet or your garage - it is electronic 'garaging'.
First of all, your applications should be clearly backed up and their downloaded or CD-packaged originals stored online as well as offline. You should also have - connected, or annotated along with them - the website and contact information for the vendors of each of them. Next, you should have desktop or taskbar access/residency for all the applications that support your daily routines or business functions. Naturally, before delving into file storage and the like, you should ensure that your operating system is backed up and secure. You should perform regular maintenance on your Windows System Registry. You can purchase and download a top registry software package that does this. They also perform the other registry fix functions that accomplish any needed Registry Repair.
Next, your application file storage will probably require a complete overhaul. This is not just the way files are named and organized but how and where they are stored. Perform an overall analysis of the work that each application performs. Do you typically create draft version of destination tasks or jobs? Should those be stored in a folder of like-files from other days - weeks? How would an expert data analyst number or identify these files? Are there intrinsic definitions that may be stored in the nomenclature or numbering structure of the file IDs? Where and how should those folders be organized and stored? The answers to these questions should enable you to devise a numbering structure and storage setup that supports your access and usage - rather than one that flies in its face. People who have organized or 'mapped' their PC in this manner report not only increased efficiency but a calmness that suggests that they own the PC instead of the reverse.
