It sits in your printer list just like a physical printer but redirects the output to a PDF file. Back them up on a USB stick and you can take ever message with you in an instant.</p> Note to Barb, you can save alot of paper by using a utility like CutePDF or PDFCreator to print your emails and other items.

What can I say…this helped me finally go through all that crud that’s piled up on my computer, sorting it into a system that works for me. (I’m familiar with the David Allen book and system, my real life wouldn’t be manageable without it, but I haven’t had the balls to attempt the same for my digital life.

Thank you!!!

Repost this baby…the most useful article I’ve read this week!!!

Don't know what that means.</p> For someone like me who is not computer savvy at all, these instructions aren’t detailed enough (yeah, I know, but there are still people like me who don’t know a thing) i.e. pull files into folders, or makes shortcuts.

Ive been struggling with folder structure in general, for both design, development, and personal data. I did this in three or four (painstaking but well worth it) hours.</p> <p>Looks like a few of us have found it more than three years after the fact. This one's even more rlevant now IMO, and a good candidate for a repost.</p> This article is great.
