What I do to keep everything tidy is to create folders and subfolders and subfolders etc.
For example, there is the main logistics folder, sorted firstly by year, then month, then day, then specifics.
As long as you can find one common aspect in files, you can put them together with that general aspect.
Dunno if it will work for your graphic projects, but I think sorting by type/content, then programs, etc. is sufficient
And of course, the best thing to do is to not let the problem figure itself out. It won't happen. Let every 1st of month be the cleanup date.
1st of the month it is, completely agree.
Something that takes a few mins of upkeep can otherwise become a mammoth task by leaving it.
I was just curious is all, clients and project names seem to be working fine for now but I do think for a master backup a date folder above would be a smart move.
Thanks for taking the time to reply, I hope business is well during these strange times!
