Like most people, have you lost important information in the past? You can prevent<\/span><\/em>
\nthis time-wasting frustration from happening again.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I used to lose important pieces of information in the past, but now my information is safe. In spite of my traumatic brain injury, I have found ways to prevent this irritation.<\/p>\n

The keys to my solution are email, a good internet browser, and a few simple programs.<\/p>\n

Personal Information.<\/h4>\n

To prevent losing important information, set up an email account.<\/p>\n

Then email to yourself anything important that you need to have at hand.\u00a0 I organize my emails into folders, and one is called, \u201cNever lost\u201d. Any important information I cannot lose, things like my novel manuscripts and my journal, I move to this folder. Additionally, I have an email in which I remind myself where I stored physical things (like my favorite jewelry and checkbook) when I\u2019m not using them.<\/p>\n

Research<\/h4>\n

Have you ever learned something on a website and struggled to find the same info again? You can prevent this, too.<\/p>\n

Word Documents<\/h4>\n

Sometimes when I write late at night, my brain has shut down before I save my work. At times, I panicked, thinking I lost it.<\/p>\n

When I do this, I feel stupid regardless of how tired I was when I did it. But, often I can retrieve my work in spite of the fact I didn\u2019t save it. I can also recover a document that exhaustion caused me to accidentally delete.<\/p>\n

Here is how I do these things.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Hard Copies<\/h4>\n

I have an organized file cabinet for hard copies of important documents, but the most important I store in a small, portable organizer. When I travel or need to put my hands on something quickly, it is right there when necessity demands it.<\/p>\n

Lost Documents Stored on External Storage<\/h4>\n

In the past, I have lost a file on external storage, either because I deleted it or just couldn\u2019t remember where I stored it. But there are programs to help you recover lost data, even long after you lose it.<\/a><\/p>\n

Disk Drill is my favorite because it is the simplest, most user-friendly data recovery program.<\/p>\n

What Was That word?<\/h4>\n

One of the worst effects of having traumatic brain injury for a writer is being unable to recall a word or phrase. This used to annoy me a great deal, but I have discovered a way around it. I go to wordhippo.com or a similar website, type in the meaning of the expression I need, and left-click “find it”.<\/p>\n

***<\/strong><\/p>\n

Life is stressful, without the additional stress of having to spend hours looking for something or recreating it. And, there aren\u2019t enough hours in the day to waste any of them looking for something you believe you should be able to access readily.<\/p>\n

These strategies will enable you to put your important information into the \u201cnever lost\u201d category.<\/p>\n
