	Well I am a bit behind in photo sorting but I created directories for 
my downloaded documents from the git-go.  I added
a specific directory in /home/bliss/Manga/.  The PDFs go under 
categories for /Documents, /LinuxPro Magazine, /PCLinux magazine, 
Hardware/ and even one no longer on /home/bliss/ for Linux Advice.  All
these except Manga which I consider a special class are in /Documents. 
In /Downloads I have many sub-directories for each of the many 
distributions I am downloading for the LUG to keep their library up to 
date.  I move the stuff to a small portable drive to carry to in-person 
meetings if we ever have them again.
	I have tried to give up that job but no one else wants it up to
this time.

  That will be about all I can manage to carry to meetings at 84.
  So that is what I do about that specific problem is start sorting as
early as you realize you are accumulating stuff.  But I started this
stuff about 40 years ago on the Amiga.  Before that I was trained a
bit in administrative stuff and created systems of document filing
with just paper and the Alphabet and the Calendar.
