These are the file structures and naming conventions I use that actually work for organizing files

I was never big on organizing things in any particular order. It always felt like a chore, whether it was clothes, tools, or digital files. But having no organization means full-on panic when you actually need to find something. I ran into this problem a lot with files and folders because I had no structure or naming conventions. I’m talking about tons of “New folders,” random “image(1)” files, and a chaotic “Downloads” folder.
