~/tmp - scratch folder for WIP stuff I don't care if I lose ~/dat - downloads and other temporary data ~/vir - virtual machines ~/arc - everything backup worthy ~/arc/dot - dotfiles, in "stow" format to easily set up on a new machine ~/arc/prj - projects, mostly software. Usually symlink to ~/prj ~/arc/doc - documents, organized by life-stage, project, company (e.g. "finances", "$company") ~/arc/img - pictures/videos ~/arc/dat - backup worthy software, keys, and other "data" ~/arc/res - research projects. Could go under prj/ I suppose. ~/arc/eml - IMAP email snapshot I use Zotero and Mendeley (historical) for PDFs. I have a folder in ~/arc/dat/books for ebooks and the like.
