5-File Framework – Workflow Workshop Highlights
I had a lot of fun last week in our January Workflow Workshop, drinking coffee and looking at how to simplify the top-level organization in digital (and analog) files to make storing and using the information easier. We looked at a five-file framework to slim down how much stuff is visible when we start digging…
Read MoreThe First 5 Files
Your First Five Files What do you see when you open Google Drive? How about the Downloads on your computer? What most of us see is a mishmash of important documents and total trash. The file we’re actively working on is surrounded by documents we don’t recognize and projects from years ago. Maybe you’re more…

Today, I’m celebrating Big Fish Day. It’s not exactly celebrating one year without alcohol, but rather the one year anniversary of realizing alcohol was hurting me.
