Congratulations! You've downloaded tons of PDFs. Now, how do you manage this mass of files?
1. Adopt a Clear Naming Convention
Suggestion: [YearSemester]_[SubjectCode]_[Type]_[Title].pdf
- Example:
2025S1_LAW101_Course_IntroCivilLaw.pdf
2. Create a Logical Folder Structure
My Studies/
└── Semester [Year]/
├── [Subject Code] - [Subject Name]/
│ ├── Courses/
│ ├── Tutorials/
│ └── Exams/
└── Semester [Year]/
├── [Subject Code] - [Subject Name]/
│ ├── Courses/
│ ├── Tutorials/
│ └── Exams/
3. Use Note-Taking Tools
Integrate your PDFs into tools like Notion or Obsidian for better annotation and linking.
