Organization

When I am working on certain projects or papers on Google docs, I don't organize well. I save it was a title that I know will be the paper I'm looking for. But with the computer I have at home I have multiple folders. I have one for school, pictures, videos, facebook, and tumblr. Within those folders I have folders inside them.
