Organize iOS Apps by Actions Instead of Categories

<p>Can’t remember what folder you stuffed that iOS app into? If you have a ton of apps on your iPhone or iPad, try rearranging them all by their actions (or by verbs), rather than by the apps category. </p>

<p>Although you’ll have to do this manually by moving apps around and renaming or creating folders yourself, it’s actually more intuitive and it’s easier to find things based on what they help you to do rather than some rough categorization that isn’t always the most descriptive. You could go beyond <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/ios/">iOS</a> and do this with OS X Lion’s <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/launchpad/">LaunchPad</a> as well, but the larger Mac screens and optional nature of Launchpad seem to make folders much less necessary there.</p>

<p>Great little tip idea from @ginatrapani on <a href=" https://live.staticflickr.com/7154/6722844293_cbd69f813d_b.jpg
