Organizing is one thing but it's better to reduce your brainpower-spending regardless of what you do.
On Windows? Custom iconed folders and explorer bookmarks go a long way. Better than relying on Quick Access or whatever.
On desktop Linux? Tools like
fdandzoxide(z) save you as long as your directory names are consistent. Sticking tonames-like-thisreduces guesswork and you can skip around in seconds. (Saved me many a due date.)On Android, consult Indiana Jones. Your files are a treasure -- they're staying hidden
Android at least has this neat app named TagSpaces... but yeah I really hate how the entire filesystem is basically Windows' "Documents" folder: Various apps just dump things wherever the heck they please!
Edit: Thanks for mentioning those really cool Linux tools!!
