Please, please, please be so kind and answer this question Bill!  Preamble: you generate a ton of files: text files for ideas, journals, lyrics, scripts, etc etc, images, pictures, screenshots, audio recordings, video recordings, combinations of all of the above when you start editing and putting them together, and all the other things I'm probably missing.  Actual question: how do you organize all that?
by date or contents. the computer organizes that for me. yours probably does too
