When I was a kid I adopted a simple rule which has served me well. A folder should only contain all folders or all files. This forces one to reclassify until there exists a classification for everything.

YMMV.

I do the same thing - with the extra rule that directory names have their first letter capitalized - and files are always lower-cased.

Do you have a bunch of folders with one file in them, or a bunch of folders named "other"?

I love that. Strong Typing for organising.

I actually like this, great tip.
