How do you organize your data?

Row everything in /home/user/documents

>Organize
I don't have enough to need to do that yet, but I should probably start. The closest I get to organizing my stuff is installing programs on only internal drives, and keeping all the torrents I've made on internal drives as well.
I hoard a ton of lossy music, but that's about it. Optimally I'd sort them Artist\Album - Year - Encoding Bitrate\Songnumber - Songtitle with a folder jpeg in each but I haven't gotten around to that.

like this#! /usr/bin/python3
import time
import os
dirdl = '/home/Anon/Downloads/'
dirp = '/home/Anon/Pictures/'
dirv = '/home/Anon/Videos/'
dird = '/home/Anon/Documents/'
dirm = '/home/Anon/Music/'
dirs = [dirp, dirv, dird, dirdl, dirm]
while True:
time.sleep(10)
for u in dirs:
os.chdir(u)
items = os.listdir(u)
for i in items:
if i.endswith('jpg') or i.endswith('png'):
os.rename(u + i, dirp + i)
elif i.endswith('webm') or i.endswith('mp4'):
os.rename(u + i, dirv + i)
elif i.endswith('mp3'):
os.rename(u + i, dirm + i)
elif i.endswith('pdf') or i.endswith('epub'):
os.rename(u + i, dird + i)

I put it in startup, runs all the time, every 10 seconds it reorganizes shit. I just download everything in the Downloads folder and then it gets moved around on it's own. I kind of miss the mess.
Everything on the desktop.
Everything.
