I keep everything in the following folder structure. ~/projects/<year>/<mmdd>-<projectname>. e.g. ~/project/2019/0307-hnpost/ It's simple and has been working very well over the years as you can quite easily find projects based on year and on name. Older projects can be removed / pruned you run out of diskspace. Keeping thing organised is just creating a single folder. I have a ZSH alias called mkproj which quickly creates a new project.
