File Organization SystemI'm giving you access to [FOLDER NAME] which is a mess of [DESCRIBE CONTENTS - e.g., "downloads accumulated over 6 months," "client deliverables with inconsistent naming," "research documents from multiple projects"].
Organize this folder by:
1. [PRIMARY SORT - e.g., "date," "project," "client," "content type," "topic"]
2. [SECONDARY SORT if applicable]
Naming convention to follow: [YOUR CONVENTION - e.g., "YYYY-MM-DD_ClientName_DocumentType," "ProjectName_Version_Date"]
Rules:
- Create subfolders as needed
- Rename files to match the convention
- Move duplicates to a "Duplicates" folder (don't delete)
- Put anything you can't categorize in an "Unsorted" folder for my review
Before you start moving files, show me the folder structure you're planning to create and get my approval.
