I have some network folders mounted to ~/shares using sshfs that are automatically mounted and remounted with a cron job.
On my desktop I have _Process as a working folder for stuff that is 100% temporary. I clear this folder every day or so. This is purely for those one-off things like an image I'm posting to a site, music that I'm tagging, etc.
I have a second folder, _Projects that is for current projects -- stuff that I've 'checked out' of my NAS. This folder is automatically backed up every day regardless, but I also sort the files and clear out the auto-backup folder once its been sorted.
Every project folder has its own _Process folder that has all of the temporary working-files that I can later delete, but will need until proofs are sent off. This folder will have any notes, fonts, images, etc that the client sends.
This setup isn't fancy by any stretch, but it gives everything a home. When I start a new project I start off with mkdir -p ProjectName/_Process and fill that up first. I also rename everything that is sent to me so the file names make sense.
