This is what I use at my office: TPL (three letter code for client Tippingpoint Labs -> TPL) -> ~Resources (global resource files) -> ~Information (research for the client) -> TPL08-01Website (client ID + last two digits of the year - job ID ---> ~Resources(resources for the job) ---> 080210 (date coded, 10th of February, 2008) ---> 080220 (date coded, 20th of February, 2008) ------> actual stuff inside -> TPL08-02CookieRecipe ..etc -> TPL08-999_IT ..etc At home, I just use three directories: /school, /work, /play. School has all of my school stuff in it (it's subdivided into year and class), work has all of my work stuff in it (a less intricate version of the above), and play is just a dump where I plop files.
