The Google Drive 'Where is that file?' problem. How I dramatically cleaned it up with '3 rules'
"That downloaded document
where did I save it...?" and
are you still melting away time today
opening and closing countless folders?
Thank you for opening
this article again today!
Aiming for a "commoner's home-based business",
I am Futa, struggling daily with AI.
Yesterday,
the problem of Canva's "Untitled Design"
being cluttered
was neatly solved
with a "secret warehouse hack"!
Now,
this time, I will perform surgery on another "demon realm"
lurking inside our commoner PCs.
That is,
the "Google Drive (or PC file)
messy problem"!

"It's all text,
so I can't tell at a glance where anything is!"
"The documents I saved for now
are disappearing like a black hole..."
When you start a side hustle or business preparation,
the data you handle, such as educational PDFs and reference images,
increases all at once.
It is a real waste
to have precious work time whittled away
just by the effort of searching.
So, this time!
Even for a lazy person like me, it will never be messy again!
I will deliver the "3 divine rules"
that will make your Google Drive dramatically clean.
These are super practical techniques
you can do in 3 minutes starting today!
Rule 1: Create a "00_For Now BOX" at the very top!
Google Drive is basically sorted by "name order".
This is the ultimate hack that utilizes this.
Please create just one folder
named "00_For Now BOX" with "00_" at the beginning of the folder name.
"+ New" -> "New folder" -> "00_For Now BOX"
(The number '0' comes to the top, so it is always displayed at the top)
*Symbols, etc., are displayed even higher

For downloaded materials or
images you thought you'd organize later,
make a rule to 'put them all here without hesitation!'
Just having a temporary evacuation spot
can perfectly prevent mysterious files
from cluttering up your main screen!
Rule 2: The 'Emoji & Number & Color' hack to find things in an instant!
If folder names are just text,
your brain won't recognize them at a glance.
So,
just by adding [Emoji + Number] to the beginning of the folder name,
it becomes visually incredibly easy to understand!

📚02_AI Learning (Input)
🗑️99_Past Archives
and so on...
Furthermore, [Color]
If you right-click a folder and make it colorful via 'Organize' -> 'Folder color',
you can reach it in an instant even from a small smartphone screen,
thinking 'That material is in the blue folder!'😎

Rule 3: Add a 'Star★' to things you use today!
When you think, 'I'm going to focus on making this course this week!',
aren't you searching for files
deep in the depths of folders every time?
For files and folders you are currently using,
right-click -> 'Organize' -> 'Add star'!

It will jump you to the current working location in one go!
If you click 'Starred' in the menu on the left...
Yes! That's it!
'The starred items you are looking for right now.'It makes things super easy!🤗

Just remove the star when you're done with the work.
Right-click on the file or folder -> 'Remove star'.
With this, the time spent searching for files becomes completely 'zero'!

Whoa!
My computer screen is shining!!✨

Just by setting these 3 rules,
my Google Drive, which was so chaotic,
was reborn as the PC of a 'capable entrepreneur'!
Wait, wait, wait, hold on!?
What was all my effort worth,
desperately excavating mysterious encrypted files
like 'Untitled_Document_Final_Copy.pdf'
that I had left alone after 'saving for now'...? (tears)
The moment I finished this organization technique,
I thought, 'Wait, was my computer
always this easy to use!?'
I was wrapped in a mysterious sense of emotion,
like being in a room after the year-end cleaning (lol).
Graduate today from the 'useless excavation work'
of just clicking the mouse wheel
to find lost files!
Everyone, please adopt these 3 divine rules
and get a super comfortable
'home entrepreneur' life with 'zero search time'!
Next time,
solving that 'messy problem' of AI!?
With the Canva and Google Drive organization from last time and the time before,
things have become neat, and the strongest
work environment for 'home entrepreneurship' is finally ready!
But...
Have you forgotten that we AI-utilizing groups
have one more
'fatal clutter point'?
Yes,
The 'ChatGPT and Gemini chat history
getting too cluttered problem'!
'Which chat was that amazing prompt
the AI made for me back then...?'
'The history menu on the left is
full of 'New Chat' entries, it's total chaos!'
So, next time!
'Never lose track of those past brilliant answers again!
The super-tidy organization method for
ChatGPT & Gemini 'chat history'' coming your way!
Look forward to the ultimate 'AI tidying hack'
to get 120% out of AI's wisdom!
