A Fun Organizational Tool for Folders

/ Sheila McIntrye Good, Author / 4 Comments

I know, maybe I have too much time on my hands, but I’m a nut when it comes to organizing things – sometimes to the extreme. Oh wait, that sounds a lot like an obsessive-compulsive disorder.  Let’s not go there, shall we? That’s another subject … Anywhoo, here’s a little trick to help organize all those boring folders and files on your computer.

Here’s what your document file looks like, now:

Step 1: Collect your favorite Icons. You can find them via Google, copy and file in pictures/images folder for easy access.

Step 2:  Right click and copy the desired Icon.

Step 3: Right Click on a folder and pull up “Get info” – it will look like this. Right-click on the small folder next to the name and paste the copy of your selected icon.

It’s a good way to organize those pesky boring files, but I must warn you. The process can be very addicting. Happy organizing!

I know, I know. Tooting one’s own horn is not fun, at least for this gal. However, word of mouth has proven to be the best marketing tool out there. Don’t believe me? Here are few surprising stats from the Ambassador Marketing Website.

 According to research by Nielsen:

  1. 92 % of people trust recommendations from friends and family more than all other forms of marketing.
  2. 43 % of consumers are more likely to buy a product if they learn about it from family or friend.
  3. 83% purchase decisions made by consumers are influenced by their friend’s social media posts.
  4. 77% are more likely to buy a product when recommended by a family or friend.
  5. 79% of the people who ‘Liked’ a brand on social media, did it to receive a discount.
  6. 49% say their family and friends are their top sources for the best brands.

There you have it and so without further ado: Pass it On!
