As of yesterday, I've started using a 'system' of sorts... (no pun intended!)
First, I created a 'Lumix' folder in 'My Pictures' where I keep all my originals - to separate them from other pics I accumulate.
Within the Lumix folder, I have several 'themed' folders that I dump my pics into frm the camera. Usually, I have to create a new folder for events and such. I friend of mine uses the '1 folder per month' method, but I don't like it as much.
Anyway, once I have the originals where I want them, I can walk away for awhile... but I usually don't!
The next step depends on what I am planning to do with the pictures...
If I am planning on uploading them to a website, for example, I will create a sub-folder called '800x' or '1024x' and then batch resize the pics to the appropriate size. I also append '_rz800' to the end of the filename - just to be safe! (Makes searches easier too.)
If I want to make prints, I create a sub-folder called '4x6' or '5x7', etc. and go through cropping and saving to that folder. (my ArcSoft Viewer makes this really easy because it has preset aspect ratios - and a 'save as' button) Again, I append '_cr4x6', etc. to the filename.
If I am playing with levels or gatting fancy with post-production, I do so within the sub-folders only.
So that's my new plan... so far so good.

All of my shooting pictures is not important to me. I choose from the and collect it to " my picture" collection. sometime I'd crop, resize and color correction on some photos.
