skeletonbow: My machine has a 120GB SSD for the OS and software, then 3 2TB drives. [...] Defining one drive or even one subdirectory as "ORGANIZED SHIT ONLY OR ELSE" goes a long way to keeping the computer cleaner, while allowing other areas to still accumulate shit. :)
I like order as well. My C is a 1 TB partition, the rest of the '2 TB' drive (actually some 1,8) devoted to D. C is Windows as well as Documents, Music and Pictures plus instaled games. D could stand for Data; there the instalation files are kept, there's a Movies folder and some more storage. Then there's the P for adult stuff, sorted by medium and genre.
My way to keep the yet-to-be-sorted things separate is separate folders for 'to be sorted - pictures' , - movies' , etc. Yet not being creative likebyo are with media, it's not nearly as much work to organize I guess. With my kind of work, the nightmare is the inbox of my work-email, where I keep all mail of things yet to do, papers yetbto reaf and meetings yet to attend.
