In order to begin managing your own information you will decide how you want to organize it.

Some people will organize their data within a single 'Realm', while others will want to manage their information dependant upon where they will use it.

The top level of organization is known as a 'Realm'. Each 'Realm' will contain the information which is relevant to it.

• Within each Realm you will define one or more 'Projects'
• Within each Project you will define one or more 'Cabinets'
• Within each Cabinet you will define one or more 'Drawers'
• Within each Drawer you will define one or more 'Folders'
• Within each Folder you will place the items, the 'Documents' you wish to manage.

These Documents will be items such as:

• Files (text files, Word documents, spreadsheets, presentations etc)
• Directories ( complete directory structures that you want to manage as a whole)
• Hyperlinks ( URL's to web based information you wish to manage)
• Photographs
• Music
• Links ( links to programs you use frequently such as Internet Explorer, Outlook, Photoshop, iTunes etc)
