File Organization Tipps

Submitted by Zettt on September 8, 2007 - 12:46am.

Hi,

A few weeks ago i was totally re-organizing my file system on the computer.
What i did. I threw all of my projects, everything, into 1 folder and from there moved them to "Archive" or the "Pending" box.

The problem starts with Archive. I don't where exactly to store my files. Some are more like Art, Music (i am a musician) and so on. But problems come in when i reach files for my job. As i said i am a musician - an Audio Engineer to. So where do i store those file regarding reading material about Audio Engineering which tell about music theory? Hmm?!
Sure, i can tag those files with Quicksilver or Punakea (the best tagging software i found for the mac except it doesnt let you choose which characters to use for delimiting tags) but, you know, that isn't exactly what i am looking for.

So i asked myself, how are you organizing your files, your life etc into folders and subfolders?

Thanks in advance

You may have already seen this post or the associated thread. Enine's layout is working well enough for me so far, but I'm far from re-filing all my scattered stuff into one place. But I'd put reading material into a Reference section. Tagging could be helpful, but I've found that my paper files are usable enough as long as I can find document X in the first 2-3 places I'd think of, so I'm not sweating it.
