When I was a kid, I loved to flip through the JCPenney catalog. I would circle everything that I wanted....which was basically the entire catalog. Well, now I've created my own catalog so I kind of feel like I've come full circle.
I consider myself quite organized. I have color coded my Google Drive and have everything in neat little folders. But lately, I haven't been able to find what I want as quickly as I'd like. I find myself sitting there thinking "Didn't I write a story using the verb poder? What did I title that story?" and then spending twenty minutes searching for it. It must be because I'm turning 50 this summer. My brain is mush. So to solve my problem, I started organizing everything. Then, I thought, if I can't find things, you probably can't find my things either! DUH! So I created the catalog for all of us. You can search the catalog in two ways. I may add another later but for now. It's two. The first way is by grammatical focus. I have in the grammar focus in light green. Under each header, I have listed everything in my store that has that focus. So let's say, for example, you are teaching the verb Gustar. You'd simply scroll down to Gustar and there you will see everything I have using that verb. There are two columns. The first tells you what that item is: a story, activity, project, writing, lesson, game. The second column has the name of the item and it is linked to the item in my TPT store so you can click and see if it's what you're looking for. The second way to search is by Spanish Speaking country. So if you're looking for food from Spain, simply scroll down to Spain and see what I have! The only problem I had was that a lot of products focused on South America or another region, so I just put all of those at the bottom. I noticed that I like to write a lot of present tense stories (you'll see when you peak in the catalog...holy cow). I also have a lot of items focused on Spain. I mean that makes sense...I do LOVE Spain. This has shown me where I need to create more products so keep your eyes open for what's to come. I hope this helps you as much as it has helped me already!
