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. |
