In the same spirit of the past 2 weeks thread promotion, let's have an insider's look at how you organize your machine. How do you tidy your home?
That's a simple question on its own, but knowing why you organize it that way can give insights on techniques others might not have previously considered.

I'll start with mine:

Code:
.
├── docu
│   ├── bin
│   ├── myself
│   ├── programming
│   └── psychology
├── dot
│   ├── ... # a lot of dots)
│   ├── backup.sh # script to backup on external HDD
│   ├── pkgs # list of all installed software
│   ├── setup.sh # script to set all the dots as symlinks in the right places
│   ├── user-dirs.dirs # XDG environment, important
│   └── ... # more dots
├── downloads
│   └── ... # temporary dir for downloaded files
├── Dropbox
│   ├── impure
│   ├── .. impure61 through ..
│   ├── impure78
│   └── mushrooms
├── junk
│   └── ... # temporary working dir for non-important stuff
├── media
│   ├── ascii
│   ├── audio_books
│   ├── books
│   ├── games
│   ├── images
│   ├── manga
│   ├── musics
│   ├── os
│   ├── recordings
│   ├── Remi
│   └── videos
└── Recordings -> /home/vnm/media/recordings/

Looking back at it, I think it's a bit of a mess to have multiple "temporary" directories. But that's still a big improvement from my previous setup.

Somewhat on topic, I recently found this repo.
