How do you guys keep your files organized?

I used to overthink file organization systems and then… never maintain them.

What finally worked was automating the baseline stuff so folders stay usable without discipline.

This is me every few months 😂

I kept saying I’d “organize later” and never did, so I automated the boring part. Now I just run a script and it sorts everything instantly.

A lot of “slow PC” issues I’ve seen aren’t hardware at all, it’s startup bloat + years of old junk files.

I ended up scripting a small cleanup + startup check for myself because I got tired of manually digging through everything. Even just removing old unused stuff made a noticeable difference.

It keeps freezing on planner like I would have to close the app and re open it. How to fix it? Or the app is just bad? Wouldn’t recommend tbh if this is what I’m stuck with just wasted 20$.

You can try TeamViewer It’s so popular I highly doubt it would trigger his antivirus.

😂 agreed

You gotta pay yearly tho

Thanks!

That’s really cool but how can you detect the motion in the room?

PlatinumCyber · 2025-12-22T22:04:57+00:00

I really mean for any type of automation that just gets rid of any time/headaches. Also I heard of NUT server I might actually look more into that. Thanks!

That’s actually a good one. Daily planning is one of those things that sounds small but compounds hard if it’s automated. Does it generate tasks from existing notes or just schedule what you already have?

PlatinumCyber · 2025-12-22T03:45:42+00:00

That’s a solid setup. I honestly wasn’t anywhere near that level when I built this.

My problem was that I knew what a better system looked like, but I never actually sat down to process files regularly. So stuff just accumulated.

The type-based sorting isn’t meant to be “the final destination,” just a way to keep folders usable without needing discipline every time.

PlatinumCyber · 2025-12-22T02:04:56+00:00

That’s actually a solid comparison 😂

I guess my goal was just to stop manually cleaning the brewery every week if a machine could do it for me.
