This may seem like a silly question, but how do you guys organize your desktops and file systems? I find it difficult to properly organize my files and find them jumbled all over the place.

I use only 1 desktop (you can have more than one). And I organize my files in folders and subfolders. How do you do it?

I do it like that too but I always find my desktop full of clutter from my music production and other projects. I’m mainly just wondering if there is like a software or a way to automatically sort things.

Personally, I let my computer do that automatically and I focus my attention on other things instead.

I like to keep my files organized in folders based on projects or categories. I also use a consistent naming system so I can find things easily later. It just saves me time and keeps everything from getting chaotic, especially when I’m juggling multiple projects. Plus, using cloud storage helps me access my files anywhere, which is super convenient.

Hey thanks for the feedback, that really gives me some ideas. May I ask what cloud storage you use? I believe I have one drive at the moment.

Hey, great question! File organization is such an important part of staying productive, especially when working on multiple projects. For me, I organize files based on a few key categories:
Project-Based Folders: I like to create separate folders for each project I’m working on. Inside, I use subfolders for drafts, final versions, and resources (like research or images).
Date or Versioning: I always include the date or version number in the file names, so I can track changes over time without needing to open the file.
Cloud Backup: For safety, I regularly back up important files to the cloud, so I can access them from anywhere and never worry about losing them.

What i like to do is have the default file but on one drive and have subsets. It is a hassle but keeping organized can help me do more work rather then searching all my files.
