Organizating Folders - Oddly Calming

Just a few months ago, my computer library was a mess. I had about three folders (music, pictures, documents) with a few text files in each of them and every single file had a stupid non-indicative name.

I never saw the problem with this until a certain friend of mine told me she was organizing her computer library, giving every picture, including her Lavi-picture-collection with about 100 pictures, an indicative name and giving each anime series from which she had more than four pictures a folder of its own.

This seemed like insanity at first but when she succeeded in naming all the Lavi pictures I decided to give it a try. Surprisingly, giving every single one of my 145 pictures of Yuki Nagato an unique and indicative name wasn't all that hard and having all my anime images organized was a pretty nice feeling. I then decided to do the same to my documents folder, music folder and the rest of my images.

 As of today, this is what my picture folder looks like:
As you can see (maybe, depending on the quality of the pictures) the unsorted images are still quite unorganized (I should make a cat-folder) but inside every folder there is nothing but structure and perfection! Some of the folders have subfolders (like the anime one, which got a subfolder for every anime)  and som subfolders have subsubfolders (Anime -> The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya -> Yuki Nagato).
