Keeping university projects organized on a Mac during finals season
Every semester I end up with dozens of folders full of essays, group projects, and presentations scattered across my desktop. It gets really chaotic during finals week when I need to find something quickly. I’ve tried renaming files and creating separate folders, but it still feels messy, and my laptop’s storage fills up fast. I’m looking for an efficient way to keep everything organized while making sure I don’t accidentally delete or lose important files. How do you all manage your study materials better?
One of the best tricks that helped me survive my last finals week was learning how to organize and compress my study files properly. Instead of moving everything to an external drive, I started creating compact archives for each subject. This guide — https://commander-one.com/zip-and-unzip-files-on-mac/ — shows exactly how to handle that on Mac without losing any content. It’s super easy to follow, and I was able to keep all my documents tidy and accessible without running out of space. It honestly made studying a lot less stressful.
