There were some problems with the 2008 Code. 2009 Organizational code of computer and household files has greatly improved so that all computer files are primarily all mobile accessible from ANY mobile phone, laptop, and/or desktop. Amazing improvement! And for the reference files all of them are organized in a fashion so that manual backups are smooth and simple (in contrast the 2008 organizational system had scattered or less-consolidated files). The name of the game of 09 is Consolidation and Mobile access!
Basic Breakdown of all organization.
bu/ent holds ALL non-personal created files (blog image files, hollywood movies, iTunes mp3 from artists)
bu/my holds all my project files, audio recordings, film projects and film finished products, as well as all ebooks, and articles written. The key difference is that the all the finished audio, film, and document products are consolidated in the same folder, my/docs/ref/all_polished_finished_complete_audio_docs_film so that specific folder (the fruits of the work) can be easily backed up on a small to moderately sized flash. In other words all my files (my own creations bu/my and others creations but still my files bu/ent) are all consolidated adn then within that the fruists of all my work the final finished audio, film, and document files are all consolidated as well! We've got consolidation within consolidation!! haha!
The greatest feature though is the my/docs/ref file which contains all documents I created. Within that there's convos and correspondance for ALL letters (thank yous, old letters to friends, letters to this or that, text chats saved) saved, a food_recipes folder, various project folders organized by Year now which is MUCH more efficient than by topic which always ends up being confusing and sloppy. I've discovered time organizers (chronological by date for example) to be some of the best organizing methods. Additionally I have "Jobs and School Apps" for Alll the applications, job interview, college essays, and graduate essays and application work I did. I have a Personal Finance Success (PFS) folder for a few receipts and financial research I did to increase my fico score, I have all my school files in bu/my/docs/ref/school all MASSIVELY organized by school year, semester, and class, making that information easily accessible. Additionally, I have a writing-creative/nonfiction and writing-poetry for partial writing projects and a personal_brainstorming_ideas folder for a conglomeration of writings that I felt would be useful in a motivational seminar so that folder is a collection hodgepodge of folder files that I added that I felt would be resourceful in a motivational seminar.
Then gdocs contains polished books for reference, journals for review, and then 24 MainCopy docs which I can update from any computer (the reference and journal folders are basically read only) the include things like "forgiveness gratitude list", "current year IN journal", "temp_Things" which organizes all things to do, and other such files that you'd want to be able to update from anywhere as well as access for review from anywhere!
So then backuping up is a synch. There's a folder called bu/distributed_files_around_system which contain files that are distributed around the system, there's only maybe 4-5 or so that are all aliases, so you can just Find Original with those aliases and then consolidate those and then EVERYTHING is in bu already! And to make smaller back ups, one merely has to utilize the bu/docs/ref/all_polished_finished_complete project. Excellent!

edit April 6, 2009 -- 9:01 PM (@ideas, @Tasks, @Waiting For) are ALL obsolete. @ideas is unnecassry an idea you share in convos or in a journal you don't need a damn list for it. Tasks gets jotted down on your temp_things list. and waiting-for, definitely DO NOT have a waiting for list. That will make you insane. You ahve three types of waiting for:
web waiting-fors (forum responses, page responses, forum issues, questiosn on boards) that you put in a safari or firefox toolbar
email waiting fors (you can slap a WF gmail label on certain emails you want to track, simple)
Phone wiating fors (you simply write SENTMSG in notes (or SMSG or your own abbereviaton) and then can do a smart contacts folder searching for that keyword so that it automatically tracks those. So a quick check of the Apple Address Book smart folder in contacts, email WF label, and the firefox "oi" (I use "oi" for open issues, my web version of waiting-for) folder will give you scope and a closed loop on anything for which you're waiting for a reponse. NOTICE that NO LISTS were used in waiting for tracking!! It's a folder of the actual sites (web), search tag SENTMSG (contacts), or email label WF (for email). Never maike a WF list it will be too crazy and you'll spend 4-5 as much time tracking stuff on it than getting things done and responded too. Less lists!!
Hardware (in office and home)
Basics of What you need in any home (you'll have to go out and purchase these or screws for them or find them in the trash or acquire them in someway (I found an AMAZINGLY-working lamp that someone had thrown out. One man's trash can be one man's treasure). There's NO way around this. If you don't have these items, they sound trivial, but if you don't have them, you will not stay organized, constantly "lose" keys and wallets and your life will be in shambles.
My FAVORITE thing to do is utilize wallspace. I was an expert in geometry in school and we live in a 3-dimensional world and should treat it like that. Utilize wall space with hangers and utilzie height. Huge space-saving clutter-elimination tips.
View my full post on how:
Kitchen. All pots and pans stay stacked on the countertop. I dislike putting things in drawers. Plus, having them out encourages you to use them to make home-made cooking. I have one pot, one large kettle pot, 3 pans. Those 5 always stay on three burners out. Their tops are stored in the oven drawer with the muffin tin. That's all I need and more than I'll EVER need for pots and pans (and I can do some elaborate cooking!). Countertops are clean. The papertowel roll is under the sink in cabinet to encourage you to use less papertowels. If it's not kept in a cupboard you can go through papertowels to quickly. Countertops are clean. I like having a plant in the kitchen. Adds life to the room -- to any room. I keep my retainer in most of the day because it discourages over-eating so I I have my container case in the corner next to the knives. Silverware. Silverware I primarily all store with the fancy cups and plates high up in an inaccessible cupboard. I am one person so I ahve 2 bowls, 2 plates, and a spoon, fork, knife, and chopsticks that I keep in one cupbard, but other than that I use know other silverware or plates. Minimizing the amount of silverware and plates you use creates simplicity and minimizes dishwashing. The 2 plates and 2 cups may be too much as it is, as I enjoy simply having a piece of fruit or a standing meal. I think anytime you get so into food that you sit down to eat it with a fork and knife for long periods of time, you've wired your goals incorrectly. Eat food that nourishes and revitalizes you; enjoying the food is secondary, after all it's designed to be sustanence!
I think in 2008, I encouraged keeping things drawers. 2009 is the opposite. You generate sooo much clarity simply seeing all your items at a quick glance with them out of drawers! So no drawers!
Clothes
ing things in drawers. 2009 is the opposite. The only items I keep in drawers are the items right beside the door (drawer for hat collection, drawer for outbox files, drawer for dog collar, drawer for running gloves). All other items are out of drawers. I even took the doors off the closets. All non-formal clothing is on ONE shelf. This includes pants, shorts, athletic clothing, casual collared shirts, t-shirts, undershirts and socks, dress socks, and boxerbriefs in three boxes on the floor infront of the shelf. It's MARVELOUS to take a 1-second glance at the shelf and see ALL non-formal clothing you have without having to open multiple drawers, rummage through belongings. All clothing laid out nice and neat folded well on one shelf. Being able to take one quick glance at something (a undoored closet, a shelf, one computer file) and see ALL of every type of item is MARVELOUSLY simple, clarify, and creates a sense of satisfaction. Other positive side effects of this are that you'll spend less on junk and purchase less clothes and items in general. When I consolidated all my items and saw that I had 5 collared shirts, and 11 collared informal button-up shirts (16 casual collared shirts total) the idea of EVER needing to purchase any bit of clothing like that EVER again felt absurd. Additionally, having 5 pairs of informal shorts, and 4 pairs of informal jean-cordoroy-cargo pants, you realize how much "STUFF" you already have. I have 15 formal collared (like the ones you wear with a tie) shirts, 6 suits, 2 dress vests, 5 belts. About 14 pairs of white socks, 5 pairs of dress socks, 9 white undershirts, 4 colored undershirts, 6 tshirts, 7 running shirts, 1 running vest, 4 running short shorts, 4 basketball/athletic shorts, 1 long running pant, 2 warm comfy pajama pants, 3 long-sleeved sweater shirts, 1 sweatshirt, and my leather jacket and windproof jacket and 2 baseball caps I wear I hang on pegs by the door. That feels REALLY collected and clarifying and simplifying and less scattered to consolidate that and you feel happy having such an organized awareness of your clothes. I could take that clothes inventory by glancing at the clothes shelf and quickly glancing at the formal (infrequently worn clothes) closet. (3 suits, 1 dress pant, and 5 formal collared shirts I keep with the outer sweater, sweatshirt and ties, and belts, and comfy pants. I also have 6 ties. And two pairs of dress pants.
Do you have any idea how LONG it would take most people to figure out the exact number of all types of clothes like the ones I just listed? Hours? Days? Months?! haha! It took me literally 5 minutes. THAT type of organization produces indescribable liberation. It's great!! Honestly, I'd rather have star trek clothes (all one uniform would mean less indecision about "what to wear" and in the future hopefully we'll never have to worry about what to wear as something insignificant as clothes will vanish or be made uniform). Life's fun naked. haha!

- Dress Shoes --2 (1 in house, the other pair I've had for over 11 years and that pair I keep in the car. I've had multiple occasions going to places and needed dress shoes but didn't have them. LOL. Those incidents will increase, simply because I hate bars/clubs and will likely not go to many more (I hopefully/trust I won't anymore sweet).

I basically only wear 1 paif of blue jeans out of these 5 though, my lucky brand jeans and I think the other 4 pairs are kind of other peoples possibly haha!) So the long pants are an example of something that I may change as only 1 of the five I wear. Could get few pairs of luckys as that's the only kind I wear really lol. The idea of multiple kinds of the same kind/brand/type/size of clothing is VERY good because creates connection and MASSIVE simplicity in life and less decisions about clothing which is good. Ideally, I'd like to all wear simply the same uniform or go naked so would have no clothes decisions, but that hasn't happened yet lol.
- Sweaters, Longsleeved -- 4 (2 structure-express, 1 Oneill (GREAT Brand), 1 billabong collared)

Basically 2 gift suits, one I bought on my own, and 3 inheritted from pops. Cool as!
Feel free to read my view on suits here.
Basically, they seem cheesy, I'll view a person the same as if the were in athletic clothes or a suit and think others should do the same, but others do not do that. So suits it is if neede in career mode if it'll get me income, I'd be all for suits!
Now, I mentioned the importance of putting fresh clean clothes on the bottom of the clothes stack (to ensure you cycle through all the clothes or undershirts or what have you). I have a similar method for collared forma shirts. After wearing one thoroughly (pit stains, sweating, and/or significantly wrinkled or stained) I know I'll want to wash that one so I simply hang it up behind the suits (so it won't get messed up with other collared shirts). Then after enough of those accumulate (10 or so) I'll wash those all in bulk and iron them all. I don't afford and frankly don't like to pay for dry cleaning when the meditation of it is kind of soothing (ironing) and additionally it saves me money in the longrun! :D
Athletic - 23
Athletic Short/Pants Total --9
Swim bag -- 1 blue jammer, 1 swim cap, goggles (counted as aquatic gear), a towel (counted as towels category)
Underwear -- 58
Towels -11 Total (8 total in House, 1 always in swim bag, 2 always in car)
When I wash things you put the fresh, clean, folded shirts, towels, shorts, whatever UNDERNEATH the stack of the ones already on the shelf so you don't just keep wearing and washing the same 5-6 pairs of whatever clothing. That way you cycle through the whole stack of clothes. It's important to cycle through the full stack because that way you can learn if a certain item you avoid wearing and if so, if you don't want it anymore instead of "avoiding it" in the stack of clothes, you'll simply eliminate (sell/discard/give-away) the clothing item you no longer wear. Cool!
Miscellaneous Bedding -- 10
Taking an inventory of all your STUFF is amazing. It's amazing what you find and how organized you can get with clothing alone! Sweet! I don't care if people think this is under or over-organized or ridicule or praise it; copy it or mock it. I don't care. I know this works for me and keeping an inventory of the clothes I have creates closure in my life! I know I have no need nor desire to shop and waste money on clothes. I have a TON of clothes! Which is great! And having an awareness of them is clarifying and ensures I won't waste money on something I already have and simplifies your life!
Additinally, you'll feel clear and have an inventory of your entire wardrobe. Now it may "LOOK" or sound like I'm obsessed with clothes making this list. But the truth of the matter is I am not. In fact it's the complete opposite. I hate clothes!! LOL! But my goal is to get all of the same brand/kind for each main category (like all lucky jeans in the pants-longlegged section which will create massive simplicity too. cool!!).
The other closet consists of sub-organized bins for :

Towels -11 Total (8 total in House, 1 always in swim bag, 2 always in car)
- Large -- 6 (1/6 is always in swimming bag, so 5 are only in the house and only 2 (body towel and floor mat) of those 5 are in use at any time
- Medium-Hand -- 4 ( 1/4 is in kitchen constantly to use less papertowels! and 1/4 is Constantly in the back of the car (as a backup towel for whatever needs and/or to pad the surfboard in the car so it doesn't bump)
- Miniature -- 1 (ONLY in Car glove compartment for on the fly cleaning of anything)
When I wash things you put the fresh, clean, folded shirts, towels, shorts, whatever UNDERNEATH the stack of the ones already on the shelf so you don't just keep wearing and washing the same 5-6 pairs of whatever clothing. That way you cycle through the whole stack of clothes. It's important to cycle through the full stack because that way you can learn if a certain item you avoid wearing and if so, if you don't want it anymore instead of "avoiding it" in the stack of clothes, you'll simply eliminate (sell/discard/give-away) the clothing item you no longer wear. Cool!
Miscellaneous Bedding -- 10
- Pillow Cases 2 pairs (4 total) -- 1 stored, 1 in use on two pillows
- 1 White Sheet (unused)
- 1 White fitted sheet (on the bed I never use, under the white quilty thing).
- 1 White Quilty thing (made on the bed I never use for sleeping in)
- 1 fluffy comforter (i use this as main bed sheet as I sleep on the floor with the comforter and two pillows (and peltor head-earplugs (to block out noise) and sometimes baseball cap lol true (to keep hair from frizzing))
- 2 mattress protectors (1 in use, 1 stored)
Taking an inventory of all your STUFF is amazing. It's amazing what you find and how organized you can get with clothing alone! Sweet! I don't care if people think this is under or over-organized or ridicule or praise it; copy it or mock it. I don't care. I know this works for me and keeping an inventory of the clothes I have creates closure in my life! I know I have no need nor desire to shop and waste money on clothes. I have a TON of clothes! Which is great! And having an awareness of them is clarifying and ensures I won't waste money on something I already have and simplifies your life!
Additinally, you'll feel clear and have an inventory of your entire wardrobe. Now it may "LOOK" or sound like I'm obsessed with clothes making this list. But the truth of the matter is I am not. In fact it's the complete opposite. I hate clothes!! LOL! But my goal is to get all of the same brand/kind for each main category (like all lucky jeans in the pants-longlegged section which will create massive simplicity too. cool!!).
The other closet consists of sub-organized bins for :
- Hiking
- Biking
- Computer-Media
- Electronics
- Misc-HouseItems
- Aquatic
- and then spare towels and bedding items
- Shower room -- 1 shampoo, 2 body wash, a body brush, facewash
Removing the closet doors serves three purposes:
- It makes you more aware of what you have
- Prevents stuff from "clumping and hiding and being overlooked"
- Makes your items, project materials, gear, essentials more accessible. it's really cool!
What about paper-based reminders? I do use a few paper-based reminders but they're all superficial compared to the core todo lists of Zenbe and temp_Things as well as other MainCopy gdocs in my marvelously liberating and clarifying system! If I want to make sure I stay focused on one or two projects (such as making a cool newsletter like-graphic digital imaging thank you card that I had to send by a certain date to ensure it got there on time) those things ALWAYS go digitally into the list (temp_things or zenbe depending on what kind it is) and then sometimes on a 3x3 cut out piece of paper on a magnetic board juxtaposed to my computer. cool stuff!
When you look at ALL of that stuff. you realize I have a TON of stuff. All that gear for specific projects (computer, film, media, biking, soccer, bastketball, tons of clothes etc) I realize I'll NEVER have to purchase, for example, casual collared shirts, likely for the next 10 years. NO joke!! It's so rare that I use any of those short-sleeved casual collared shirts and I have 16 of them!! Then after you've organized you stuff and removed all doors from closets (no places for clumps of random shit to hide!) you can witness how little or much you use certain items and will cultivate a cognizance of items that create MUCH more clarity for you and aweareness of what you use and don't use! This is remarkably cool! Cool!
The 2nd thing I'm tackling is eliminating items for the sake of simplifying, which is a bit more advanced. Eliminating items to eliminate clutter is a MUST. And it's simple, if you don't use items nor use them for memorabilia, they must be discarded or sold that's eliminating clutter PERFECTLY. Eliminating items for sake of simplifying is similar and related by subtley different. For example, take the bike and biking gear. I haven't biked in over a year, but all the stuff is organized and modularly consolidated so that if/when I do bike it'll be simple and accessible and easy. Eliminating stuff for sake of simplicity typically means, you've got everything organized and processed and eliminated all the clutter, but may remove an activity from your life. Like if I rarely play basketball, maybe you don't neex the xyz gear etc even though it's organized. Simplifying yoru stuff is challenging and difficult but if done correctly can have profound effects on your life!!
The best thing to do is to understnad how much time you put into collecting certain items and understand why you'd no longer pursue that. The biking stuff, for example, would be wise to keep because you could meet up with a friend and go for a ride, but then again, if you jsut focused on running, you could meet up for a run, too, and wouldn't need the bike stuff. Most of that is good to keep because its a BITCH to all gather up again if you want to do a simple project that would use those mateirals. A great example is eliminating for sake of simplicity is cat belongings. I thoguht I liked cats so I got a carrier, post, bowls, toys, and litter stuff, but realized after two cats that I'm not a cat person. I love the trustworthy, sturdy, fun, playful alive zealousness of dogs. But I am NOT a cat person. So I had all the "cat stuff organized" and other people are cat people, so it was a perfect method to elimanate for the sake of simplicity (I won't get a cat again), and eliminate clutter, and sell items! Great! The key about eliminating for the sake of simplicity is that NOT doing that activity (be it having a cat, or somet other activity) would have a positive effect on your life. Not having a cat would be good for me, because I love dogs and will have a better life, putting time into raising and living with and playing with and having a dog. Basically, organize your stuff in projects because it's worth a lot and if you get to the point where you KNOW you will or won't use stuff, you'll want to sell it and it's all organized there like that as well.
When you get this organized, you treat your stuff and your life better because you don't get sloppy because it's almost like living "in a store" of somet kind or something. you respect your belongings and are not owned by them and have much more control and freedom in your life!
I like a LOT of empty drawers.

All that is obsolete. Inbox is a journal text file and a folder I call _ibx. In the inbox there's seperate subfolders based on filetype. I have those aliased to my sidebar, so then I have _ibx_docs, _ibx_jpeg, _ibx_mp3 for any type of media (photos scanned in, pdfs on important information, etc) all that goes into subfolders of inbox so when I want to process my inbox 1/3 of it is already done. It's very simple to sort all the mp3 podcasts or soudn files you've accumulated into yoru bu/ent/am folder hierarchy or the bu/my/am
accordingly if youv'e already corralled all the mp3s (same goes for the docs and jpegs)!
@Projects no longer exists. All of this "@" shit actually no longer exists either. You're never "@" project "@ inbox" that's utterly absurd nomenclature. Projects and project planning ALL happens in your temp_Things file which is online accessible to all laptop, phone, and desktop. I WASTED hundreds of hours fiddling with fancy shmancy top of the line cutting edge Things, Omnifocus, iGTD, all the top of hte line gtd apps and they will WASTE your time and make things overcomplex. You just need that one simple text file when stuff gets down on it, you strikeout format it and put it into "Complete" section.
Here's the sofcopy files. NOTICE they're designed for being backed up; with this hierarchy backing up is extremely easy to do. EXTREMELY easy. All the aliases link to the system-distributed files and there's little storage of things scattered around which makes you stuck and difficult to back up. This is very clear:

I have 24 docs that are backed up on harddrive b/c MainCopy is gdocs. This works INCREDIBLY well because I can edit those docs from phone, laptop, or desktop, pay no charges (it's free) deal with no superfluous cumbersome different app architecture (They're the good old text docs) but they're all online and live and accessible. VERY smooth, high tech and intelligent.

NameChanger is a lifesaver. I frequently encounter bulk files maybe created all on the same day or some other similarity. I just throw them into the AMAZING program NameChanger and can set a naming pattern, prepend, append, remove letters and the like. Huge timesaver.
The programs are for film editting (iMovie HD/ 08), Web design (Textwrangler/iWeb), and authoring (Pages, Firefox, Text Edit). Cool beans!
Here's the most complex of those files, the bu/my/docs/ref folder which, despite it's complexity, is MUCH less complex than previous versions and much simpler, more accessible, smoother, more Efficient, and with a far stronger and more stable and reliable structure:

You can see the MASSIVE decrease in standalone .rt files!! Where'd they all go? Online gdocs accessibility from ANY computer or iphone!!! This is the dream (totally online) setup I've always wanted and dreamed of! This is fantastic. All the files in my/docs/ref now are primarily all just for personal self-history examination, which is essential for clarity and self illumination.

I can zoom back in time and re-examine ANY and every Event, thought I had for the past 8 years till 2001! I've kept journals and incredibly scientifically detailed and organized calendars and runlogs. Some journals for each year totally over 100,000 words!! They're extremely detailed! This cultivates success for me when I "do my homework" and create synopses of my emotional patterns, triggers, what was going on at this time, why xyz event preceded abc, or how this lead to that, or what caused me to feel anger, joy, rage, as a result of RandomEventa. ALL that miraculous story of your life and emotional patterns and clarities you can go back and access to learn from to track and scrutinize and take inventory of how you reached a peak state and how to maintain good emotional clarity, freedom, happiness, and success and what to avoid and what to bring into your life. People continually cycle into the same patterned traps because they don't journal and review their emotional lives on a regular basis. I'd say the average person has the scope of 1-2 weeks. They can recall and reflect back 1-2 weeks into their past; anything longer than that gets blurred and obscured and softens into "way too long ago to care"! But those myopic people SHOULD care. Because the event that happens every maybe 4 months or that same problem state that pops up every 6 months or whatever your obstacle is will be impossible to overcome without journaling. Journaling illuminates your past and gets your out of the "Dark Ages". The Dark Ages was the age in greece where there was little writing; we have no historical evidence of what went on for the 350 years from 1100 to 750 bc in Greece! Taht sounds outrageous right?! Like totally outrageous, historians know everything about Greece right? Wrong, 350 years of core history completely blacked out non-existent. Well, guess what most of this disorganized, unclear, myopic people DO live their lives in the dark! 90% of the world's people are dark, shambling, fools who failed to extract any meaning from their life! I am saying my method and system of journaling and reviewing your life to NOT be in the dark ages and to have a clarity about your own personal history, IS a superior way of living! You can't make changes without aweareness. You can't have changes unless you journal and review emotions and reactions and patterns and phases and stages of your life. I chose to enter this more lucid, more energetic, infinitely oh INFINITELY more impassioned and enthusiastic and simultaneously INCREDIBLY more peaceful and lucid part of my life to become a lifecoach in 2000 and I've kept at it; constantly improving my life; clarifying myself and trying to do the same for others. Improving thyself is the key here. These disgusting people who drag their brainless zombie corpses around with that 1-2-maximum scope of their life are CLUELESS and in my opinion highly DANGEROUS because they fail and refrain from choosing to engage the possibility of inculcating tremendously aligned clarity in their life. Basically, those people who don't journal, who remain perpetually in their own myopic "dark ages" or downward spirallers -- and their are TONS of those obfuscated people. So bottom-line: be the change you want to see in the world, get exercise, journal, review your life and patterns, and constantly upgrade the quality of your life. Because I journal and stay organized and massively aware of the belongings I have I'm always living from the most recent upgrade, the most advanced system while 90% of the world is dragging their lost, confused, miserable Dark Ages lives through 1-2 week scopeless life. The ability to look back on the personal history canvas of your life and see yoru experiences as a source of entertainment, intrigue, emotional understanding, and to see elements of causality is a galvanizing, and clarifying experience!
The only people I envision myself connecting with having achieved such a massively high level of clarity are other life coaches or mathematicians. But I didn't get to a high-level of math, but either of those embody the white-light sense of clarity that I embrace that is so unfamiliar to 90% of these Dark Ages people that cluelessly roam the earth not too far removed from their neanderthal and cro magnon ancestors. So I encourage people to use their mind, journal, cultivate a scope and an organization that gives you tremendous understanding, fulfillment and success in your life, as I have done and how great people have done as well!
then Bu/my and bu/ent are roughly organized identical to the POP Suite 2008 version, excet bu/my/docs/ref is MUCH more un controll with projects_2005andprio projects_2006, projects_2007, projects_2008, projects_2009 and alias to ibx's current projects_current that's for all the "scraps" that go into projects and files. If a "gem" if a very finished product came out of those scraps, the scraps say in the respective "projects_year" folder and the output goes into "all_finished_polished_complete_docs_audio_film" which is basically the essence of all computer work distilled and CONSOLIDATED (most important) into one folder containging three foldres (docs, audio, film) creations which can be easily backed up and is MODULAR.
Modularity is the essence of the POP Suite 2009 and it's HIGHLY flexible, smooth, and operates from a degree of sophisticated that completely transcends complex cumbersome UNNECESSARY apps!
The "distributedaroundsystemfiles" folders captures the actual files or alias of files that you'll have to gather but it's very few and very simple. The only ones are iMovie 08 (original stuck in users/Movies/) and a few users/username/Library/Application Support/"program name" files such as Cultured Code (old) and iWeb. It's import to capture these because if you forgot to gather your iWeb data you'd lose all your easily-editable iWeb sites, so this ensures that doesn't happen by collecting all the files that are stuck in folders other than root/bu.
edit April 6, 2009 -- 2:07 PM I no longer use iPhoto for album organization. I label the photos with such a meticulous system that adding the extra app overcomplicates it. With my photo labelling system, you have profound organization just within the finder. Remember, the Finder is an AMAZING app, too. Pathfinder is great because they so much aren't apps. We're eliminating excessive apps.
edit April 6, 2009 -- 9:00 PM quicken is obsolete, no need for extensive receipt processing.
edit April 6, 2009 -- 8:58 PM. Expander program still useful, typeIt4Me for the win. Much better than textexpander, and implementing 3-4 generic email responses would be massive time-saver, but ultimately difficult to do. Date and other simple expanders are grea though.
edit April 6, 2009 -- 8:58 PM write room is obsolete. no longer necessary. Textedit is fine, but most all docs are online google docs now so accessible to all iphone, laptop, and desktop simul.
Gmail straight in webmail is perfectly fine. It's the same thing if it's imapped, if you access it in Mail.app. I have a sprawling 33 folder byzantine email network of files that I may whittle down.
edit April 6, 2009 -- 2:05 PM
However, quicksilver has been recently very buggy and I've found it's complicated my life more than simplify it. So far now, quicksilver is out. You end up spending too much time using quicksilver instead of access things you need. It has great potential because it's not so much an "app" (we don't want organizational apps) as a service, but it's almost too app-like.
Other than that, that's it for the updates, about 80% has been deemed superfluous; almost all current or important files are accessible by any computer or phone the POP Suitet version 2009 is MUCH more improved!
How to Work "Outside Lists".
Now, all my computer, film editting, writing, email, etc (in office projects and todos) get thrown on the universally accessible "temp_Things" gdocs. But for lists that I need to access when running errands or at the grocery store or talking with people "Outside" I use Zenbe lists. It's an AMAZING and simple iPhone mini app that syncs up with the web page. So whenever I update something on my zenbe grocery lists (like a pepper grinder broke so throw on "pepper grinder" under "Grocery"-Misc on the desktop and then when I'm out and about with my phone I just pop open zenbe go to grocery if I'm in the grocery store and then see pepper grinder and milk and any of the other things I meant to pick up. Cool!! I have three lists on the Zenbe:
Agenda -- For conversations things to say to people when/if I call them (these also sometimes go under Notes on their Apple Address Book conatact)
Grocery -- all things I'll find in a grocery store
MS-ToDo -- this is all the weird items to pick up or do. Examples of somethings that have been on my MS-ToDo list is:
Vacuum repair pickup (pick up vacuum from repair store)
Walgreens -- mini eyeglasses screw (pickup a mini screw for eye glasses from walgrens)
Walgreens -- HP #27 est total $20 (pick up printer cartridge)
So Zenbe lists is killer and prevents clutter, ensures prudent spending, and is a GREAT the ultimate outside organization method so items become like quests!! So fun!! Like a computer game! Which I love for it's precision. What kind of dumbass would play a dumbass computer game where you blindly wander out into a city and the goal is to avoid getting lured into advertising traps without knowing what you're looking for? Stupid! Lists make the computer game of getting thigns fun and precise and you know the "objective of each quest" and can check it off and you feel a sense of accomplishment having acquired a "quest item". Sounds dorky and nerdy, but I don't care, it works for me and is awesome.

I WASTED hundreds of hours fiddling with fancy shmancy top of the line cutting edge Things, Omnifocus, iGTD, all the top of hte line gtd apps and they will WASTE your time and make things overcomplex. You just need that one simple text file when stuff gets down on it, you strikeout format it and put it into "Complete" section.
Here's the sofcopy files. NOTICE they're designed for being backed up; with this hierarchy backing up is extremely easy to do. EXTREMELY easy. All the aliases link to the system-distributed files and there's little storage of things scattered around which makes you stuck and difficult to back up. This is very clear:

I have 24 docs that are backed up on harddrive b/c MainCopy is gdocs. This works INCREDIBLY well because I can edit those docs from phone, laptop, or desktop, pay no charges (it's free) deal with no superfluous cumbersome different app architecture (They're the good old text docs) but they're all online and live and accessible. VERY smooth, high tech and intelligent.

NameChanger is a lifesaver. I frequently encounter bulk files maybe created all on the same day or some other similarity. I just throw them into the AMAZING program NameChanger and can set a naming pattern, prepend, append, remove letters and the like. Huge timesaver.
The programs are for film editting (iMovie HD/ 08), Web design (Textwrangler/iWeb), and authoring (Pages, Firefox, Text Edit). Cool beans!
Here's the most complex of those files, the bu/my/docs/ref folder which, despite it's complexity, is MUCH less complex than previous versions and much simpler, more accessible, smoother, more Efficient, and with a far stronger and more stable and reliable structure:

You can see the MASSIVE decrease in standalone .rt files!! Where'd they all go? Online gdocs accessibility from ANY computer or iphone!!! This is the dream (totally online) setup I've always wanted and dreamed of! This is fantastic. All the files in my/docs/ref now are primarily all just for personal self-history examination, which is essential for clarity and self illumination.

I can zoom back in time and re-examine ANY and every Event, thought I had for the past 8 years till 2001! I've kept journals and incredibly scientifically detailed and organized calendars and runlogs. Some journals for each year totally over 100,000 words!! They're extremely detailed! This cultivates success for me when I "do my homework" and create synopses of my emotional patterns, triggers, what was going on at this time, why xyz event preceded abc, or how this lead to that, or what caused me to feel anger, joy, rage, as a result of RandomEventa. ALL that miraculous story of your life and emotional patterns and clarities you can go back and access to learn from to track and scrutinize and take inventory of how you reached a peak state and how to maintain good emotional clarity, freedom, happiness, and success and what to avoid and what to bring into your life. People continually cycle into the same patterned traps because they don't journal and review their emotional lives on a regular basis. I'd say the average person has the scope of 1-2 weeks. They can recall and reflect back 1-2 weeks into their past; anything longer than that gets blurred and obscured and softens into "way too long ago to care"! But those myopic people SHOULD care. Because the event that happens every maybe 4 months or that same problem state that pops up every 6 months or whatever your obstacle is will be impossible to overcome without journaling. Journaling illuminates your past and gets your out of the "Dark Ages". The Dark Ages was the age in greece where there was little writing; we have no historical evidence of what went on for the 350 years from 1100 to 750 bc in Greece! Taht sounds outrageous right?! Like totally outrageous, historians know everything about Greece right? Wrong, 350 years of core history completely blacked out non-existent. Well, guess what most of this disorganized, unclear, myopic people DO live their lives in the dark! 90% of the world's people are dark, shambling, fools who failed to extract any meaning from their life! I am saying my method and system of journaling and reviewing your life to NOT be in the dark ages and to have a clarity about your own personal history, IS a superior way of living! You can't make changes without aweareness. You can't have changes unless you journal and review emotions and reactions and patterns and phases and stages of your life. I chose to enter this more lucid, more energetic, infinitely oh INFINITELY more impassioned and enthusiastic and simultaneously INCREDIBLY more peaceful and lucid part of my life to become a lifecoach in 2000 and I've kept at it; constantly improving my life; clarifying myself and trying to do the same for others. Improving thyself is the key here. These disgusting people who drag their brainless zombie corpses around with that 1-2-maximum scope of their life are CLUELESS and in my opinion highly DANGEROUS because they fail and refrain from choosing to engage the possibility of inculcating tremendously aligned clarity in their life. Basically, those people who don't journal, who remain perpetually in their own myopic "dark ages" or downward spirallers -- and their are TONS of those obfuscated people. So bottom-line: be the change you want to see in the world, get exercise, journal, review your life and patterns, and constantly upgrade the quality of your life. Because I journal and stay organized and massively aware of the belongings I have I'm always living from the most recent upgrade, the most advanced system while 90% of the world is dragging their lost, confused, miserable Dark Ages lives through 1-2 week scopeless life. The ability to look back on the personal history canvas of your life and see yoru experiences as a source of entertainment, intrigue, emotional understanding, and to see elements of causality is a galvanizing, and clarifying experience!
The only people I envision myself connecting with having achieved such a massively high level of clarity are other life coaches or mathematicians. But I didn't get to a high-level of math, but either of those embody the white-light sense of clarity that I embrace that is so unfamiliar to 90% of these Dark Ages people that cluelessly roam the earth not too far removed from their neanderthal and cro magnon ancestors. So I encourage people to use their mind, journal, cultivate a scope and an organization that gives you tremendous understanding, fulfillment and success in your life, as I have done and how great people have done as well!
then Bu/my and bu/ent are roughly organized identical to the POP Suite 2008 version, excet bu/my/docs/ref is MUCH more un controll with projects_2005andprio projects_2006, projects_2007, projects_2008, projects_2009 and alias to ibx's current projects_current that's for all the "scraps" that go into projects and files. If a "gem" if a very finished product came out of those scraps, the scraps say in the respective "projects_year" folder and the output goes into "all_finished_polished_complete_docs_audio_film" which is basically the essence of all computer work distilled and CONSOLIDATED (most important) into one folder containging three foldres (docs, audio, film) creations which can be easily backed up and is MODULAR.
Modularity is the essence of the POP Suite 2009 and it's HIGHLY flexible, smooth, and operates from a degree of sophisticated that completely transcends complex cumbersome UNNECESSARY apps!
The "distributedaroundsystemfiles" folders captures the actual files or alias of files that you'll have to gather but it's very few and very simple. The only ones are iMovie 08 (original stuck in users/Movies/) and a few users/username/Library/Application Support/"program name" files such as Cultured Code (old) and iWeb. It's import to capture these because if you forgot to gather your iWeb data you'd lose all your easily-editable iWeb sites, so this ensures that doesn't happen by collecting all the files that are stuck in folders other than root/bu.
edit April 6, 2009 -- 2:07 PM I no longer use iPhoto for album organization. I label the photos with such a meticulous system that adding the extra app overcomplicates it. With my photo labelling system, you have profound organization just within the finder. Remember, the Finder is an AMAZING app, too. Pathfinder is great because they so much aren't apps. We're eliminating excessive apps.
edit April 6, 2009 -- 9:00 PM quicken is obsolete, no need for extensive receipt processing.
edit April 6, 2009 -- 8:58 PM. Expander program still useful, typeIt4Me for the win. Much better than textexpander, and implementing 3-4 generic email responses would be massive time-saver, but ultimately difficult to do. Date and other simple expanders are grea though.
edit April 6, 2009 -- 8:58 PM write room is obsolete. no longer necessary. Textedit is fine, but most all docs are online google docs now so accessible to all iphone, laptop, and desktop simul.
Gmail straight in webmail is perfectly fine. It's the same thing if it's imapped, if you access it in Mail.app. I have a sprawling 33 folder byzantine email network of files that I may whittle down.
edit April 6, 2009 -- 2:05 PM
However, quicksilver has been recently very buggy and I've found it's complicated my life more than simplify it. So far now, quicksilver is out. You end up spending too much time using quicksilver instead of access things you need. It has great potential because it's not so much an "app" (we don't want organizational apps) as a service, but it's almost too app-like.
Other than that, that's it for the updates, about 80% has been deemed superfluous; almost all current or important files are accessible by any computer or phone the POP Suitet version 2009 is MUCH more improved!
How to Work "Outside Lists".
Now, all my computer, film editting, writing, email, etc (in office projects and todos) get thrown on the universally accessible "temp_Things" gdocs. But for lists that I need to access when running errands or at the grocery store or talking with people "Outside" I use Zenbe lists. It's an AMAZING and simple iPhone mini app that syncs up with the web page. So whenever I update something on my zenbe grocery lists (like a pepper grinder broke so throw on "pepper grinder" under "Grocery"-Misc on the desktop and then when I'm out and about with my phone I just pop open zenbe go to grocery if I'm in the grocery store and then see pepper grinder and milk and any of the other things I meant to pick up. Cool!! I have three lists on the Zenbe:
Agenda -- For conversations things to say to people when/if I call them (these also sometimes go under Notes on their Apple Address Book conatact)
Grocery -- all things I'll find in a grocery store
MS-ToDo -- this is all the weird items to pick up or do. Examples of somethings that have been on my MS-ToDo list is:
Vacuum repair pickup (pick up vacuum from repair store)
Walgreens -- mini eyeglasses screw (pickup a mini screw for eye glasses from walgrens)
Walgreens -- HP #27 est total $20 (pick up printer cartridge)
- You waste money on junk you won't use nor need
- You generate CLUTTER!!
So Zenbe lists is killer and prevents clutter, ensures prudent spending, and is a GREAT the ultimate outside organization method so items become like quests!! So fun!! Like a computer game! Which I love for it's precision. What kind of dumbass would play a dumbass computer game where you blindly wander out into a city and the goal is to avoid getting lured into advertising traps without knowing what you're looking for? Stupid! Lists make the computer game of getting thigns fun and precise and you know the "objective of each quest" and can check it off and you feel a sense of accomplishment having acquired a "quest item". Sounds dorky and nerdy, but I don't care, it works for me and is awesome.
In summary my Productivity and Organizational Progress 2009 system is structured and implemented and utilized with :
*= Universally accessible (via desktop, phone, laptop wherever!) italics
- *3 Outside Zenbe Lists -- Agenda, Grocery, MS-ToDo
- *20-30 Universally accessible MainCopy update documents
- *2001-2007 Journals for LifeScribing
- bu/my files
- bu/ent files
- Clothes on shelves
- work-office-homespace extremely clean (weekly vacuums and bleaching all countertops and floors)
- With the exception of the one computer utility draw (all spare pins, paperclips, etc) and a some kitchen drawers (a potato drawer, an onion-garlic drawer, a cooking utilities drawer, a utility drawer) all items are out of drawers.
- Bathroom -- one drawe rfor qtips, condoms, misc items
- one drawer for vitamins and spare bottles (extra shampoo, extra tooth brushes, extra toothpaste)
- Closets --Both closet doors completely removed. one closet is suitcases, spare boxes, and unused books (in a box organized) and hanging clothes. Gotta have your belongings OUT, so you don't lose track of them and generate clutter and so you USE your stuff, if it's not utility remember, gotta sell it or keep it as memorability, and if not those, it must be chucked.
- The third closet is hanging clothes, long-sleeved sweaters, and long-legged pants, with the other half being almost completely empty except for a "To use" section of WF (like a broken glasses to be fixed) and balls -- soccer ball and juggling ball and basketball when I get one
Open Loops (This means things to check where new incoming information, todos or alerts could arrive (or just junk to discard mostly hopefully, or structured all todo proejctS!)
- Softcopy
- Gmail -- inbox, _lat, action, _nois, _yout, _faceb any "unread"basically (empty spam)
- Facebook email, wall, notifications
- Myspace Email
- Zenbe Lists -- Agenda, MS-Todo, Grocery
- temp_Things -- the MAIN consolidator for any non-outside todos and projects ranging from inputting data, craigslist posts, questions to ask, documents to organize/refine (quotations for example), websites to update, iMovie Film edits to adjust and refine and make, letters/correspondence projects, things to research, notes to take
- Reads Folder -- For all current reads
- Math -- for all downloaded math files. cool!
- Firefox Reads -- any webpage I didn't have time to read at the specific moment, but wanted to possibly read later
- Firefox Watch -- same as "reads" but something that I wanted to watch eventually but not at that specific moment. cool as!
- Hardcopy
- SnailMailBox
- W/F closet shelf - Parts of projects that can't be filed (like the broken glasses case etc.)
- Fridge door (sometimes reminders of things already in temp_Things)
- Paper inbox (sometimes where unprocessed snailbox items go or things picked up during outside time -- hopefully minimal stuff)

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.

A friend of mine mentioned 2012 last night to me and it's the first I heard about it so I jumped on here out of curiosity. I think it's kind of sick and sounds like a bunch of skeptical jargon.
I choose to live every day like it is the last because let's be real, WHO THE HELL KNOWS what is going to happen or when it's your time to go on. The past is history, the future is a mystery and now is a gift, thats why it's called the present. It's not healthy to sit around and trip out about when you will die. Stop wasting your time you have now.

Glad to greet you, ladies and gentlemen!
Let me introduce myself,
my parents call me Nikolas.
Generally I’m a venturesome analyst. all my life I’m carried away by online-casino and poker.
Not long time ago I started my own blog, where I describe my virtual adventures.
Probably, it will be interesting for you to find out about my progress.

Hypnosis is usually a mental talk about (state theory) or set of attitudes and beliefs (non-state concept) generally induced by a procedure referred to as a hypnotic induction, which is typically composed of a series of preliminary guidance and strategies.[1[[]|]|[]|] Hypnotic strategies may be delivered by a hypnotist within the presence on the theme, or could possibly be self-administered ("self-suggestion" or "autosuggestion"). The usage of hypnotism for therapeutic purposes is referred to as "hypnotherapy".
The words 'hypnosis' and 'hypnotism' each derive from the term "neuro-hypnotism" (nervous slumber) coined from the Scottish surgeon James Braid all over 1841. Braid centered his exercise on that designed by Franz Mesmer and his followers ("Mesmerism" or "animal magnetism"), but differed in his principle as to how the process worked.
Contrary to a favorite misconception - that hypnosis can be a kind of unconsciousness resembling rest - contemporary analysis suggests that it can be in fact a wakeful state of focused attention[2[[]|]|[]|] and heightened suggestibility,[3[[]|]|[]|] with diminished peripheral awareness.[4[[]|]|[]|] In the 1st book within the matter, Neurypnology (1843), Braid described "hypnotism" being a point out of physical relaxation accompanied and induced by mental concentration ("abstraction").[5[[]|]|[]|]
How does our unconscious thoughts influence our everyday daily life?
The subconscious head retailers all of your respective memories, reactions, anything that has ever occurred to you, even in case you will not have a aware recollection of it. It can be like a giant storeroom of the previous.It also controls our bodily functions : breathing, heart rate, digestion and system temperature.
Hypnosis brings us into an altered state of consciousness, where the conscious spirit is capable to have a much-needed break from the unceasing chatter belonging to the thoughts. Our brain waves transform in the alpha point out.They slow lower just like when we're just going to fall asleep at night. At that time, we have permitted our body and mind to sluggish down.The brain reaches a heightened point out of focus and clarity.

Each and every person's practical knowledge on the hypnotic progression is going to be different.
An individual point that is certainly for specified is people's expectation with the process is a big factor in building an perfect room for alter.The important will be person's willingness and capacity to surrender to some thing new. Through the hypnotic course of action there is definitely an possibility to study regarding the deeper features of you and unlearn ingrained habits to get a far additional optimistic outcome.
The truth is that we're in and out of hypnotherapy all day extended. A hypnotherapistacts being a facilitator for transform in essence the transformation comes from within the client. All hypnotherapy is self-hypnosis.Hypnotherapy takes place where by there exists a shift inside express of thoughts.This shift in mental think delivers the ultimate room for letting go of limiting thoughts. Although considerably misunderstood,hypnosis can be just what you would like for making powerful modify as part of your existence.
