How to manage items when your data management tool is very basic

It is sometimes difficult to organize thoughts, ideas or articles when you don’t have access to tags or categories. Here I share with you several trickes I use.

Categorize articles maturity in a CMS like WordPress

In front of each draft title, I add “0. ”  to “4. ” (the space is important) , to identify the maturity level of each draft. Then I can easily find them back via the internal articles search engine.

Categorize items in iOS Photos

It’s easy to create categories, but a very long manual workload to manipulate them by hand. You can then use your puzzles skills to solve this.

  1. In the Recent folder: go to Select and select them all by hand by dragging all of them at once
  2. Mark all selected items as Favorites
  3. In Favorites, select the item to categorize, then Menu … : Move to an album 

When you’re lost with what has been categorized or not, open each album  Select -> select all (by hand) or Select all, then Menu … : Unfavorite. All the remaining items in Favorites still need to be categorized
