Are you talking about tips just for getting organized? Hmmm.. I'd say the best tip is to unzip and organize things as you download them. Don't let them pile up or it can get unmanageable! Figure out early on how you want to store your files too.. on your HD vs. and External HD. Do you want to sort product by store or by designer, etc. It's a whole lot easier to get organize up front when you don't have a ton of supplies, but once you start hoarding... I mean building a stash it could take a lot longer to change how you're organizing your supplies.

I also keep an excel spreadsheet where I list the pages that I want to complete. I list them in chronological order, but I don't complete them in order. When a new kit comes out that I want to play with, I'll go into that list and pick what photos would work best and work on that page. I have a column to make the page as done too so I know when I have enough pages done to create a photo book and it's a whole lot easier to complete a photobook when I already know what order the pages should go in. :)

One final tip... I name my .psd files with the year first, then the month, then the day and then a short title. Then my .jpg which are saved from that same name are all listed in chrological order... so as as example: 2014-08-05 Beach Day

Hi Cath. Are you asking a question? If so, I'm sorry but I don't quite understand. Can you clarify for me? Thanks!
 
I use ACDSee for all my stash organizing. I never put a zip inside another zip. I have a FOLDER in My Documents called Original Zips that I put my zip files into once I have extracted and tagged all the supplies. I loved the tips by Karen, wise words.
 
no, something around jan 7, made zips go inside others or to recyleben, all by themselves. stupid computer. No problem unzipping,
 
Gosh, I hope your computer get straightened around. There is nothing more frustrating than hardware/software that goes wonky or just plain dies.
 
got 1 entry in access for tracking kits... anyone else use access
