    I do something like:

    From Documents > ‘routine documents’ > FY > Month > Section (personnel, operations, or logistics) > and whatever task from there for my main day-to-day stuff

    But, for operations outside of the monthly sort, like managing personnel training, it gets really weird;

    From Documents > Training > FY > department > categories of training > subcategory > individual person’s folder for the course > application folders with dates (the last folder here is when the one that got approved and they’re going to the school on).

    This one is where I end up with file names I can’t rename.

    I find myself having too many nested folders, and I’m just a normie. I wonder how deep they go for you tech people.

    At some points, Windows won’t let me change the file name because it was too long and I’m assuming the file path to it plus the ridiculously long name (“person last name, first name - type of document (purpose) yyyymmdd”) just breaks Windows.

    Sometimes I have to copy those files to my desktop just to rename the new file, so that I can upload the file to an online system that only lets me upload files with names under 42 characters long. It’s wild.
