If you think you'll have a lot under one heading, there's a second way of designed a filing system for your note making. Under your folder called 'Ideas'--or whatever you've chosen to call yours--you could have a sub-folder for 'Food and Drink'. The documents under this folder could then be called 'Fast Food', "Pub Meals', etc.
When I've been out, I'll usually fire up my computer as soon as I get home. I have a folder for document archiving that I've called 'Ideas'. Under there are a number of documents that I use as a filing system for my notes. Each note is put into one or more of the documents, depending where it fits.
She sent me home with my red faced self and ideas for more services to purchase. Besides the Jane Iredale cosmetics that are offered at the office now, she also just got in the Clarisonic Face brush. This is some sort of super cleaning tool for your face that you can use at home. It's getting rave reviews from professionals and that group can be a hard sell. I've put it on my "to get" list.Big sale this month at Azalea Center on Obagi products! I can't remember the exact details and should have grabbed a flyer. Basically if you buy the entire Obagi system--the full size products--you get some IPL sessions for free. If you buy the travel sized line, you get a peel for free. These products are totally worth it. They sound expensive as a set, but if you add up all the stuff you have at home that's not working you'll l find they are about equal. I was using an expensive line before, plus a few other pricey products.
Within each file--whether you've chosen to use an MS Word document or a plain text file--make sub-headings. Going back to the food and drink note making, sub-headings in the 'Eating Out' document could be 'Fast Food', 'Chinese Restaurants', 'Pub Meals', and 'Dinner Parties'. You could add more, obviously.
I'd made the one mistake a writer should never make. While I'd obviously found a handy supermarket cash-out slip for my note making, I hadn't dealt with my note within 24 hours. I certainly hadn't used any form of filing system - unless that's what you'd call the bottom of an old handbag.
I have seen better result with Obagi that I have with Cellex-C and La Mer; which were my skin potions of choice before. I've been using them for about seven weeks now and I am thrilled with my new, improved skin.But the biggest selling point any esthetician has is her own skin. Ms. Christy looks like she is about to pledge Tri Delt and yet she claims to have teenage children. Her skin is perfect, enough said. My only regret is that we did not do before and after photos so that I could post them; there is that noticeable of a difference.Here's some other advise: if you see TCA peels offered online that you can do yourself--don't
Brand Jackets! I know it's cheaper than letting a professional do the work, but these products can potentially do a lot of damage to your skin. People go to school and lots of other training to correctly diagnose and treat skin. They take state licensing exams, and various continuing education units to keep themselves up to date on new procedures.
Where A Writer's Notes Should Be Put
When you first start working on your filing system
Bape Suit, you'll probably make a few mistakes and find yourself moving things around. Don't worry - you'll get there in the end. Finding a document archiving system that works properly on the first try probably never happens. It's never happened to me, anyway.
More often than not, when they eventually find a note, they haven't a clue what it was related to. Just yesterday, I found this one lurking at the bottom of bag I hadn't used for months. "House - blue window frames. Why wisteria?" Why, indeed! I hadn't the foggiest.
The point is that you should give your each file in your document archiving system a name that means something to you. If you mostly write about food and drink related subjects, you wouldn't need a filing system for 'Housing Issues'. If you did find something you'd like to write about housing, you could pop it in your 'Miscellaneous' file, a great place to rummage through when you fancy a break from your usual subjects.
Filing System Not Working? Don't Worry
Do you see how a useful filing system is being built up?
The point is, writer's notes get lost quickly so it's important you design a system that works for you. But just because you've designed yourself a mind-blowing filing system, don't rest on your laurels too much--it isn't all about note making, you have to actually transfer your notes, too!
No, what you need is 'Eating Out', 'Recipes', 'Wine', 'Alcoholic Beverages', 'Cakes and Deserts' or something along those lines. Only you know what best suits your writing.
Let's say I've made a note about Shahtoosh, and how the Tibetan Antelope is almost extinct thanks to our selfish desire for luxury. I'd transfer my writer's notes to a document called 'Environment', another called 'Wildlife' and a third named 'Fashion'. I could also put it under 'Human Selfishness', but I don't have one.
Writers are notorious collectors of slips of paper. They tear articles from magazines in the doctor's waiting room; they rip corners off newspapers in friend's houses because they need to write down something witty; and they stuff their bags and pockets with serviettes, cigarette packs
Michael Jackson T-shirts, and discarded train tickets just because note making's second nature to them.
