Keeping your computer organized

I have the bad habit of saving everything to the desktop so I can find it easier. Of course, that means I can't find anything. If I'm good, I have a To Org folder in my documents where I stick things if I don't have time to organize it into a folder in my documents. Every couple of days I make sure I organize everything out of that folder. Another idea that works for me is to organize everything in my documents in a logical file structure. Then I have a folder on my desktop called Current Projects. In it are links to all the files and folders that I'm currently using regularly. That way the game show I'm developing stays filed with all the other gameshows I've developed previously and the schedules I'm working on stays with all the past schedules but their shortcuts are easily accessible to me without having to dig through all the past projects. Anyway, I like it! Everyone works differently of course!
