I appreciate reading blog notes by my group mates from the second meeting with Joe’s Movement Emporium. Unfortunately, car troubles prevented me from attending. At the time of writing this, my group hasn’t debriefed but it sounds like there is a lot more groundwork to lay, including simply sorting through what is actual there and where and how.

At this point, all I can relay is experience from my own work situation. My professional work project is ten years old, and as time has progressed, I have tried to be more dutiful about properly naming and filing files since I now most all the graphic design, imagery, and documentation. In year’s past, I’ve taken on other roles in the organization and was mystified about how the person before me organized the files and think about what would have been a more way to name them so that anyone that steps into the position can jump and navigate the files in more easily. Although only with three colleagues, trying to get them to follow a more systematic approach has been an ongoing project and “reminders” about how and why. I think people who are busy are just trying to get things done, but I try to express by not taking a few extra seconds to name and file assets, they are creating more work for them—and everyone else—in the future.

It will be great to brainstorm with my group and get ideas about other methods and, perhaps, just a simpler process so others don’t find it daunting, but useful.
