I learned of the PARA method somewhere on Lemmy, and found it (or an adapted version) really well-suited for myself:

https://fortelabs.com/blog/para/

The short of it is to structure files in four categories:
Projects (with a definable scope and end)
Areas of responsibility (stuff that needs to be done repeatedly or constantly without any defined "end", like timesheets or budget plans)
Resources (learning material, reusable assets)
Archive (finished / abandoned projects, areas no longer relevant for you, resources you're not longer interested in)

I suck at the "abandoned project" part, because I refuse to accept when I'm not gonna keep at something any more, and sometimes have stuff lingering in my "Areas" that should long be archived. I also have some things that are kinda perpetually ongoing developments without any clear "end", although each increment of work does, so they occupy some hybrid space between Area and Project. I've put them in Projects anyway, because the point is to help me find things and making "Projects" the place to find "Things I'm working on" is easy enough.

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
  • Don't come looking for advice, this is not the right community.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.
