General Tips

• put methods that apply to a single instance of a Model on the model class itself
• put methods meant to query against a Models entire table that models corresponding managers.py file.
• if a models.py file gets too long to manage then create a models directory and place an __init__ file in it.
• try to avoid using signals, but if you must then put them in a signals.py file
