Gather official course sources

Collect each syllabus, assignment sheet, reading list, course calendar, and current folder. Distinguish official course materials from personal notes and submitted work.

Before organizing anything, ask ChatGPT to inventory the files, identify duplicates, and show the proposed folder structure.

Build the workspace

A useful semester workspace should include:

  • one folder per course
  • separate locations for official materials, readings, notes, assignments, and submitted work
  • consistent, searchable file names
  • a course index with links to important files
  • a deadline tracker with the source for every date

Preserve original files and archive older duplicates rather than deleting them.

Verify deadlines and conflicts

Compare each deadline against the syllabus or assignment sheet. Flag conflicting dates, missing time zones, and unclear submission instructions instead of choosing one silently.

After reviewing the proposed structure, approve file changes in small batches. Recheck the indexes and deadline tracker whenever new official materials arrive.
