Seller's description

Sorry, we could not translate this listing to English.

Seven folders, five naming rules, one inbox with weekly rotation. Independent of the device and without program recommendation.

VAT notice: All prices shown are final prices. VAT is not charged due to my small business status according to § 19 UStG (German VAT Act). I have no control over any VAT charged by Etsy as a reseller for the delivery of digital products.

Digital filing rarely fails because of the technology. It fails because there's no decision about where things belong. So everything stays on the desktop and in downloads.
The usual second attempt involves creating a more granular folder structure. This makes things worse, because it makes the decision harder instead of easier.
This guide goes the other way around: seven main folders, no subfolders at the beginning, five naming rules and a single input folder that is emptied once a week.
Here's an observation over four weeks using only two numbers. It doesn't show whether you were disciplined enough, but rather which folder you're missing. In practice, that's almost always the reason.
What's not included: recommendations for programs or cloud services, information on prices and storage sizes, retention periods, and everything about passwords and data security. The product organizes files.

New in version 2.0: a sample weekly workflow with ten files showing the before and after, the folder tree after four weeks, a naming practice sheet, and a log for twelve weeks. Also included are seven folders as a template for unpacking and an Excel naming assistant that generates the final file name from the date and a keyword. The main product can be filled out on screen.
