My Digital Commonplace System ~ Studio Diary #8
In this studio diary I am in Glasgow to visit the Botanic Gardens. I’ve spent so much time in this part of Glasgow over the years and somehow never went to the Botanic Gardens. I’m kicking myself after finally getting to visit. I love seeing the glasshouses (especially after visiting Belfast a few years ago). There was also a second hand book sale on the weekend I was visiting which was well worth a visit. There was lots of ephemera on sale, postcards, photographs and newspapers, as well as lots of books.

All these changes have made me realise I need to get my digital life in order. So today I want to share how I have organised my laptop. I know this post is going up at the beginning of a new year and though this is always a good time to go through files and make changes.
