How do you organize your work ?

Hey Harry, first thank you for doing this...

My question is about something not a lot of devs talk about; in my opinon; your folder organization.

How do you organize your folders ? do you store clients' documents and media in the same folder of the project ? or do you use another method ?

How much do you backup your data ? what do you use for that ? and do you backup multiple folders or you have one root folder(i.e Sites) ?

Hey!

This is an interesting one. I’m honestly not as organised as I should be, and there’s probably a lot of duplication and waste in my process, but generally I will have two locations for client work.

Firstly, for non-code assets like contracts, documents, etc., I have a Clients/ directoy in my Dropbox:

  • Clients/
    • <Client>/
      • <Year>/
        • Assets/
        • Contracts/
        • Documents/
        • Invoicing/

Secondly, there’s code stuff, and that’s usually a lot more simple:

  • ~/Sites/
    • clients/
      • <client>/

Everything is in the cloud and I have a 4TB Western Digital drive for anything critical or that can’t be recovered from cloud backups.
