This helps track of what occurred when, and if a similar activity is done in the future (switch or appliance OS/firmware upgrades) we can go back and see how we did the last time.</p>
<p>We have a ticketing system anyway, so why not use it.</p>
<p>I also find it helpful to organize things by year (~/Documents/%Y/) or even quarterly for e-mail (~/%Y/Q[1-4]/{Sent,Received}). I've settled on this system after I've found that throwing everything into a big pile in one directory/folder does not work very well, and having a gazillion subject-specific folders means trying to think up meaning categories which may or may not be meaningful in the future.</p>
