I backup continuously and automatically my working directory, as I try to keep there only the active projects and the recently archived ones. Alternatively, I use some one of the generic folders: “_recommendations/” are the generic ones I use now. If I need to start anything, I create a top-level folder, and then move to the “Archive/” if it goes nowhere. I keep no files in the top level, only folders. If I stop using a folder, I move it to the “Archive.” From there, I copy or move stuff to an external backup when it gets several months old. If I continue using some files as reference in a read-only manner, I keep those files with the year they have in the top-level folder. If I continue adding or modifying files in a folder, because I continue active on that project, I rename the folder, e.g., "2016_digital_health -> 2017_digital_health." Inside each of these top-level folders, I keep one folder per project, like this: I keep top-level folders " inv" for research, and " pers" for personal (in the past, " inv" was "research," which was too long even before, it was "work," which didn't feel right to me). If you need any of that again, move it out of the folder and back to the top-level of your "Desktop" or "Documents.".
