Projects folder for code work, also github uploads and installs start there.
www folder for "production" things. I don't only do webdev but almost everything I produce will end up on the web, that's where I browser test and work on the folder hierarchy where it will ultimately be hosted.
- File names that start with dates need to use yyyymmdd format.
- Avoid having too many subfolder branchings.
- Multiple pdf files are sometimes better to be combined into a single document.
- Have a TEMP folder to put all the stuff you are working with and that you will not mind erasing later. You should be confident to empty away this folder every few days without having to revise what's in it.
- Reorganize regularly (housekeeping) to maintain optimum file organization.
- Organize files as if to make it easy to find anything for a person who doesn't know where anything is. That person will be you in a couple of weeks.
