## How to Organize Your Reference Material Source URL:: <https://facilethings.com/blog/en/organize-reference-material.html> ### Highlights > [!quote]+ %%Updated on Wed Sep 13 2023 15:39:33 GMT-0400%% > > David Allen recommends a single A-Z alphabetical sorting for the physical data containers. That doesn’t work for me, it’s too ambiguous for my brain: for example, the electricity bill, should it be in the H, of House, the B, of Bank or Bills, or in the P, of Payments? My folders have clear and direct names, and I don’t waste even a single second thinking. The electricity bill, to the “Home” folder. I recommend you to start using the most natural labeling you can and that you adapt it to your way of thinking as you find material that you do not know where to place immediately.
