Are all your gigabytes of downloads in a chaotic mess?

And each of us makes a brave attempt to find ways to structure this information, but very quickly we find that whatever organizational scheme we come up with, the stuff we want to file away never quite fits.

And so our gigabytes of downloads end up in chaos. The result?

- We can’t find things that we KNOW we’ve got.

We spend hours and hours searching for that eBook, script or tool that we definitely remember downloading months ago. We need it urgently, right now, but can we find it? Can we just!

- We forget 80-95% of what we've got.

So we end up buying products that we don’t need. We already have something that fits our need, but we clean don’t remember, and have no way of checking (unless we take a few days off!). So we waste money buying another product.

So what’s the answer to this? 

Fortunately, one of the leading experts in the field of Knowledge Management has done two things to crack this difficult problem.

Firstly, he’s worked out a detailed “taxonomy” of internet marketing. That means, he’s identified all the topics that make up internet marketing, and figured out how they relate to each other.

Secondly, he’s organized these into a Mind Map (the IM Index Mind Map) and used that as a visual interface onto a folder structure for holding all internet marketing downloads.

To understand what I mean, take a look at the videos.
