I have a much more chaotic structure and do not use time tracking / effort estimate but as a suggestion for going beyond: Emacs for me works very well as a file manager, not much in the sense of using dired but in the sense of org-attach anything, sometimes small trees to be seen/treated via dired [1], accessing them via org-roam search&narrow UI (i.e. org-roam-node-find). I've hesitated a lot at first, especially since migrating a decade old curated home taxonomy with symlinks, TMSU etc in the middle, it's not so easy nor much automate but in the end it pay back very well since not only add much more flexibility and much more level of indirection than symlinking/TMUS fuse fs queries but also offer the ability to search & filter for much more textual information easily. Doing so allow integrating essentially anything else. [1] org-id-get-create then renaming (moving) or copy etc a small set of files and directories to be linked in org-mode notes
