1/ In the spirit of sharing, here is my folder structure.
I keep things shallow for "active" documents. I only keep active notes and projects on the root. That way, they are super easy to get to. I archive them once done to prevent the structure from becoming overwhelming. #TfT

2/ in 00-Folders, I maintain my "Archive" with some logical structure (not too much, not too little).
Using the move file command makes it super easy to stick a file into an archive folder.
I collect files in the root of the vault during the week, then once a week archive them.

3/ My Archive is not a black hole of FILE DEATH.
I actually frequently review my archived notes via search or through linking and "Strange New Worlds" resurfacing linked ideas.
I also delete notes of no value. Deleting is a healthy part of managing your archive.

4/ Frankly: I'm not too fond of file management. This is one of the disadvantages of Obsidian. However, if I keep my "Active" day-to-day file structure simple (fits on one screen), it's manageable.
GTD weekly review and cleanup keep the sanity in check.

5/ You'll notice that I use emojis to dress up some folders. Adding a splash of color and visuals helps me not feel that my vault is so boring.
I don't add the emojis to the file name, rather use a CSS snippet to append the emoji.

6/ In fact, you might notice that 00-Folders is a smaller font. I don't want this archive folder to be so prominent, but I also want to remember it's there (archiving is healthy file management).
Again, a small CSS Snippet gets the job done.

7/ Finally, I also dress up the file names with an icon.
By the way, these decorative elements can be done with plugins, but I prefer to keep my folder names without emojis to make them easier to work with from the file system.

8/ To be a good guy, here is the source for easy copy and paste.
The key to making this work is to replace your folder names with mine in this part of the CSS:
[data-path="DEPT"]
Where DEPT is the folder name.
