Red folders for red-hot projectsJanice is a master of chaos. Her desk is a war zone, with papers, sticky notes, and coffee cups scattered everywhere. But when it comes to code, she's a total neat freak. Here's how she keeps it organized:
Red folders for red-hot projects
Blue folders for calm projects
Yellow folders for projects that need a little sunshine
Create sticky notes for every idea, and then sort them by importance and deadline
Red for high priority, yellow for medium, and blue for low
Comment everything, even if it's just to remind herself to do something
"TODO: Call Mom"
A big ol' board with a lot of post-it notes and a few dozen colored markers
Each project has its own board, with a different color scheme and a few dozen markers
Janice loves markers.
