if it's just your own computer, the goal is to organize so that you can access what you need easily. under-categorization makes finding the right thing difficult; over-categorization makes finding the right thing tedious. ~/projects/programming/utilities/c/actual_project vs ~/projects/actual_project only sub-categorize whenever it's actually warranted, otherwise you are just adding extra access and organization time. for having fun on computers, i have ~/fun which i use as a sandbox and then send elsewhere or delete the stuff when it's unwieldy. generally, music can be organized like ~/music/genre/album/song.flac as for calendars and such, it is easier to plan less so your life isn't needlessly complicated. |

>>3 I use MusicBrainz Picard to organize all my music in the form ~/Music/Insane Clown Posse/[1997] The Great Milenko/04 - Piggy Pie.mp3 and tinyMediaManager to sort shows and movies like ~/Videos/tv/Sorairo Utility(2025)/Season 1/Sorairo Utility - S01E06 - Special Round.mkv using special software to consistently name/sort content saves a lot of mental bandwidth, and has the bonus feature of being friendly with media servers. I used to try and rename all the random stuff I pulled off torrent sites and it just drove me crazy... In my ~/projects/ , sorting chronologically gives me plenty of context but keeping ~/projects/_index.txt is really helpful in case I forget. Too bad that "tagging" isn't more of a thing in native filesystem tools, we are stuck with trees I think. For stuff like images I prefer boorus but on-disk I try to go for broad categories and give "tags" to the filename so I can search that way. Not very satisfying. |

>>2 Spent today setting up org mode; made files for "life", an upcoming vacation, and a hobby. Idk why I thought todo.txt or calendar.txt were good solutions (okay I do know why, they promise simplicity) but org mode absolutely blows them out of the water. Installed Orgzly Revived and Orgro on my android devices and they're okay. Using dropbox to sync. My dropbox is nothing but org mode files. Planning to implement something like GTD to use org mode to ... get organized ... and I also think it'd be fun to use it to log things that happen in my life. Not quite a diary but just tracking events. Not super good at using org mode in emacs yet... I can do a few hotkeys and manage to ape around the GUI but still depending on the online manuals. org-mode fanatics here, how do you use org mode? |

>>6 - I use diary on emacs calendar to do block scheduling - I use org mode to optimize and utilize multiple markup languages in one file (I switch between HTML, LaTeX, org and others and it is nice to just do that all in one go!) - org mode is also a really easy way to generate ToC... no effort. - Another thing i love about diary on emacs calendar is I can set yyyy-mm-dd to *-*-25 so that every 25th of each month in every year always reminds me to do something that specific day. definitely something to do: upload my .emacs file to show how i swap between stylesheets and other exports for my static HTML as well as PDF exporting |
