Very Internet Person

took the day off the internet to start cleaning up my data hoard, update apps, etc. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ things were feeling unstable and i'm starting to have a hard time finding files in the chaos of everything i keep dumping in the downloads folder (╥_╥)

anyone have some good digital life organization tricks?

it's gotten so bad for me that i've been having to use the color tags to tag final versions of things (⌒_⌒;) i don't know why i feel like i need to keep all previous versions

but yeah, the dump to nas method is sort of what i've been doing too but lately, i've been generating/downloading so many files that are needed in the present that that doesn't really work

Only keep files that spark joy!

Jokes aside, I remember using Hazel for macOS years ago to clean out my download files based on rules.

Once I started going through different work laptops and personal laptops at a faster pace I could manage, that went out the window and I just dump my download folder into my NAS which has several _unsorted (work laptop 2020) folders that are just collecting digital dust.

oooh very interesting. i've had numbered folders before but never went into a decimal system

do u follow this structure at the point of every new file creation or do u have a regular filing schedule to keep things in order?

i went through a minimalist phase in irl so i don't have so much to organize irl. but i think part of that was digitizing a lot of things so that really just moved the clutter to my digital space which i'm dealing with now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I’m also hoping to find solutions to this. Just to piggyback off of this, I’m also looking for regular life organization tips if any of you have those to add.

i think i just keep putting off the sorting part so the problem grows and grows (⌒_⌒;) i'm probably going to try to make a regular habit or sorting on sundays

For photos at least, I find it easier to stay organised when I have a dumping ground specifically for photos and then take an hour or so monthly to sort them. I know I won't sort it on the moment of download, so it's good to at least be honest about it.

Also use tree size software for data cleanup, really helps you see what takes up all the space!
