Is your system organized?

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?

Another 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.

When 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 keep folder and files like I would code.

Folder - > class Files - > functions

This way I keep all my folders concise and relevant.
