I keep all my very current projects on the desktop along with temporary items and odd-balls I haven't classified. Everything else goes into folder called "A Reference System" which contains a folder for each letter of the alphabet.
- cogs 8y agoWow. But then the question is - what word does the letter represent: is it a topic, a project, the name of the tool ... ?
- oldmancoyote 8y agoI play it by ear and just let my decision happen without worrying about. If I don't remember where it is, a system-wide search eventually leads me to it. Just browsing through the alphabet is enjoyable as it brings up neat things I had forgotten about.
- Wowfunhappy 8y ago> Everything else goes into folder called "A Reference System" which contains a folder for each letter of the alphabet. Wouldn't it be easier to just keep the directory structure flat, and use software to jump between letters? For instance, on macOS I can just press the "C" key and Finder will jump to items that start with C.
- oldmancoyote 8y agoI would feel skittish without a more formal structure.
