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 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"?
I love that. Strong Typing for organising.
I actually like this, great tip.
I keep folder and files like I would code.
Folder - > class Files - > functions
This way I keep all my folders concise and relevant.
