I use this simple system too, except for media. Everything else goes in a new folder inside my "2022" folder. I tried for a few years to store things in a more hierarchical way or use tags, but it was too much mental effort to think about it every time. I also tried something similar to symlinks when google drive used to support putting files in multiple locations, and it was surprising how confusing it was to manage. Unless you apply symlinks or tags in a very consistent way, it just ends up being frustrating finding something that you think tagged or linked in one way but actually, you tagged it in another way or forgot to tag it at all.
