│ │  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.

│     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.
