I've been trying to organize files on my computer better

I dont organise files very well so I'm trying a different method. A lot of information I find on organising files seem intended for if you work in a office. Though I thought the same tips could be applied even though I dont work in one. 

Some tips in some contexts work in others. This idea works here sort of for organising my text files, pictures and videos. Though for saving pictures off the internet I'm probably going to end up with duplicate files. But that's okay, because it'll probably be less than what I have today. 

It'll also make backing up files easier, as the individual directories will be less large in size because everything will be separated according to year and month. It'll also make finding my files easier.

This is an example of the tree of my Documents directory this morning. The only directories I created in all of my new Documents directory were just in the April directory because that's the current month:

I still have to work on what I name the individual files so it's easier to identify without opening them.

I have everything in a directory for this year. It's a been redundant having the year there, but it'll make it so down the road when i copy this somewhere, like at the end of this year that saves me another thing to do later. 

As each month rolls by I'll copy the folder of the month to the backup folder in my home directory and then either burn it to a disk or upload it to cloud storage. I usually dont like using cloud storage, since it can be pricy and I'm running out of storage on my Google drive. So I'm probably going to end up burning it to a DVD-R. Which is what some people would call the boomer way of backing up files. Though oh well, if it isnt broken dont fix it.
