Most Popular PM Video
Of these many videos, the most popular PM video of Simpletivity would have to be the ‘Best Way to Manage Files and Folders’. It’s a little over 5 minutes and talks about how organizing files and folders can be such a challenge. It illustrates how starting with a simple folder structure can work initially but might become insufficient as time goes by and more files and folders are added. In the video, he introduced the ABC method which basically works by putting files in specific folders based on the initial letter of its subject. So, it shows Friesen’s actual Dropbox folder and on the left side panel are folders named after the letters of the alphabet. He then explains that the ABC method puts topics like courses, contracts, and content outlines in the C folder. It is explained very clearly and is actually a piece of very practical advice.
