Advice I Never Received

Hi. I just started my fourth year of graduate school. No one told me to file my articles by author. I have spent the last week organizing my files. Not just alphabetizing them, although that was a pain in the ass, but actually creating correct citations and everything. Had I just done this as I got every article it would be no big deal, but since I'm a moron and I haven't done it for THREE YEARS, this is now my payback. It's painful.
