Never store anything directly in domain folders. Always pass through Inbox. Keep It Simple Rule -> Put it in Inbox, Decide later.

So your workflow becomes:
Capture → goes to Inbox
Process → move to Active / Ideas / Archive
Work → from Active
Finish → move to Archive

Once a week (20–30 min):
Empty Inbox
Move things to correct places
Delete useless stuff
Rename messy files
Promote good ideas → Active

This prevents buildup — the real enemy.

You might also require project based layers for bigger projects.

@ABCDEF7 WOW!!!
I cannot express my gratitude for this one idea, I love the idea of having that {Inbox}
from where all later flow through other directions.

Simplicity IS the key so many times, and yet, to reach that simplicity takes work.
Thank you, I am very grateful for this 🙏🏼 and for all the layout you have given me here as to how to work afterwards around it.

I find this was my main leaking, the variety of sources. I will place them all in one place now.

Are you running out of storage and need cloud backup space for archival? Or need a folder management strategy.

@ABCDEF7 I'm managing, space-wise. Your other reply covers what I needed. :)

Pencil and paper and map it out first... You'll see what works best that way

@Convivial 🙏🏼💙 I always use pencil and paper and thank you for mentioning it because it is part of the Chaos. So I have some things written here and some things written there and some in this app and some in my phone's notes. Some notes are taken by photos, and some by paintings and some by random songs recording on random places and voice notes. Crazy artist.

I will take it seriously this time and take serious time to figure a system to structure them all, and make sure to be sending them all to one place, as ABCDEF have suggested.

Thank you for pointing me towards all the random places I need to look at!

Keep it simple as possible - - and on your desktop in main categories - starting with one then two or three =

1)My Work
2) Information for future

Work:
Art - subsets writing, drawing, painting

Writing - poems, ramblings, essays...

Info:
Articles, Books, Sayings...

ETC....
