"The Goog" Organization Tip#1

I have been uploading a million documents to "The Goog" and sharing with you guys. You may have noticed that your list of documents is huge now and it is getting difficult to find anything. Here is a tip that will save your life!

First of all, if you choose "Owned by Me" from the menu on the left of your Google Docs list, then only the documents you created yourself will show up. That can be VERY helpful. 

Second, for documents that have been shared with you in folders (like the whole mess that I shared in the Technology folder) you can do the following:

• Check all the little boxes next to documents that are showing up in home, and that ALSO appear in a folder
• Look over at the right hand side. When you have selected documents, you will see an option appear that says "Don't Show in Home"
• Select that option and all of those docs will henceforth appear only in their folder!

This little tidbit can help you use your collections to their fullest potential. Happy Googling!
