Having a well organised work station is great: in tray, out tray, worklist etc all help manage my work flow (kinda). But I often find that my file system gets out of control.

So recently I started using Folder Marker – which allows you to change the colour of folders within windows. So now I have nicely colour coded structure which I am (trying) to use all the time:

• Green folders for Admin
• Orange Folders for General Clients
• Red Folders for Clients I am working on
• Blue folders for old/expired clients
• Purple Folders for My own personal website stuff.

Its strange but this has actually made my work more efficent. (I’ve just noticed this post reads as if it’s some affiliate promotion or something).
If you fancy giving it a try download Folder Marker

As a quick note I found folder marker over at Geeks are Sexy
