What is a Tickle File, answered.
Apologies to everyone for not giving a fuller explanation of how a Tickle File is supposed to work. My intent had been to merely use it as an example of how to sort folders in the Finder in a customised order without resorting to those ugly prefixes we've all tried before.
I personally use two Tickle Files: one made of real folders kept next to my desk, and a computer-based version, which is what I created that script for. Anyhow... What is a Tickle File? Well, rather than rewrite what someone else has already written, I'll simply quote them (after a quick search with Google)...
"Take 12 manila folders and label one for each month of the year. Label another set of file folders 1 through 31, one for each day of the month... Put the daily files in front, and behind them store your monthly files. If you prefer, two large accordion files will work just as well. The script in the hint attempts to help emulate this on the computer merely by sorting the folders in the Finder so that the months are in order, with the current month at the top. This is a simple hack - not a commercial application! I am gratified by the interest and response of everyone who's read the original hint. If you really want help getting organised, I can't recommend David Allen's book "Getting Things Done" highly enough. |
