Before Google Drive, there was Google Documents, and even before that there was Google Notebook. I’ve tried Evernote… it never really took off with me.
But Google Drive has really stuck with me. Mostly because I organized it by pretty colors! If you hate looking at it then you probably won’t use it, right? When I was in high school & college, I tried the pretty paper planner route. But truthfully I hate my handwriting and I didn’t like crossing out things when plans or ideas changed. I love having my ideas online because I can access them from anywhere and the space is limitless!
This is my Google Drive folder. Pinterest is great for organizing visual inspiration, but the bulk of my thoughts, ideas, and drafts go here. The folders are alphabetically sorted, and I chose the colors in the order of the Google Drive color selections. Ahh. Pretty rainbow.
How do you organize your life? Notebook? Planner? Smartphone App? Is it effective for you?

The colour coding = <3! I usually use the Google Calendar and have one calendar shared with my boyfriend, so we never have to play the "where are you" game or have the endless "are you free on this day" conversation. I should definitely try this out, thanks for the idea!
This is great! I am going to have to give this a try. The ability to access my files from either my work computer, home lap top or iPad is starting to become really necessary. Can’t wait to give this a try!
Is this only for documents or do links to sites work as well? (Almost like the ‘bookmark’ feature on the Internet browser.)
Hmm I’m pretty sure it’s just documents only
