Is your system organized? Do you have all of your folders organized and clean or do you have junk all over and you just know where it is?

#2When I was a kid I adopted a simple rule which has served me well. A folder should only contain all folders or all files. This forces one to reclassify until there exists a classification for everything.
YMMV.

I love that. Strong Typing for organising.

#5I keep folder and files like I would code.
Folder - > class Files - > functions
This way I keep all my folders concise and relevant.

I do the same thing - with the extra rule that directory names have their first letter capitalized - and files are always lower-cased.

Do you have a bunch of folders with one file in them, or a bunch of folders named "other"?

#8Another thing I took for a friend is to number my folders.
For example, I would have 00_perso 01_projects 00_projecta 00_projectb
Somehow my brain is better at remembering the numbers than searching for a folder name. Using that for a few weeks, I realized that I actually started to organize stuff ore, because it was easy to find them.
Ex : gitconfig would be 00 01 .gitconfig My billing 01 02 02
etc. . .
Starting using that technique ended up making myself organized.
