I just name folders with numbers and call searching for files in them (that are not named either) future me's problem. Knowing they're there somewhere is good enough.

My HR department was very concerned that I had a folder called fixed ssls on my desktop and another called fucked ssls
"my project", "my project two", "new project", "branch of my project", "my project returns", "my project forever", "my project reloaded", "my project revolutions", "my project is dead" "my project 2" <--- the tenth installment of my project
This one right here.
Music project 6 (final) (actual final) (for real this time) (demo).wav
I've finally started naming shit year-month-day-project-name.V.XX.ext and it's been WOOOOO much better...turns out, when I think, I'll remember why I named it this way, I'm always lying.
I'm the best liar I've ever met.
I’m more of a “more crap” and “Copy (4) of New Folder” kind of guy.
My desktop has a folder called “crap” where when my desktop starts to look cluttered I drag everything into a new folder then put that into the crap folder.
Going through the crap folder is like digging through sedimentary layers of dead shortcuts.lnk and .txt files to get a glimse of the past
I have something similar: a "garbage" folder in my downloads folder, and when I tire of the clutter I put all of it, including "garbage", into a new "garbage" folder. It's garbage all the way down.
I have a separate download folder as a dump. It's now at 550GB
Y'all need jesus
I'm more of a tmp, tmp1, tmp2, tmp3 type of person
sometimes i go a little wild and call a folder temptemp
No way!
Mine are foo, foo2, foo3, etc. Totally different, see? 😜
"New Folder (3)"
My folder system usually goes "[Topic] Stuff" with a miscellaneous folder named "And Things"

Oh look we still need to wash the dishes, let's grab... oh what's this plate doing here, let's put it back. Wait what were we doing again?"

I clean up my filesystem when I should be doing work so that everything is organised when I I start working an hour before it's due. This way I only have to deal with an hour of panicked mess.
Im the type to have an important folder, an archive in that folder, a misc folder, another archive folder, a backup folder and ANOTHER archive folder
Djkfghs and hdfghks feel so familiar it hurts…
lol
Yup.
I literally can't work until it's like the top picture
