per month. I name them like XX.201X (10.2018 as of this month). If necessary I'll create subfolders to keep track of an specific event.

Big folder for each year, then a folder inside for each day.

The day folder lives in just the top-level Pictures folder until I’ve finished editing the shots and posted them or sent them out or whatever.

Day folders are named with the ISO8601 date and a brief description of what I shot that day. Like so:

2018-10-13.charlotteboobs-urbex-gracechurch-bowlingalley-michellemynxpoleextravaganza

(Today has been a pretty good day for photography for me)

camera-film-location-time-sequence number

Makes filenames look like gibberish but it's working well enough.

Quoted By:

Two main drives:
>SSD (active editing)
>HDD (finished photosets)

Drive folder levels from highest to lowest:
>YYYY
>YYMMDD - [title of photoset]
(Final edited jpg's are at this level)
>RAWs

Three equal levels inside the RAWs folder:
>LR catalog (LR catalog goes in here)
>Selects (RAW photos that I import into the LR catalog)
>Rejects (bad RAW photos that I eliminate on Bridge before importing into LR)

Photo filenames always follow this format which I add in Bridge:
>YYMMDD-[my initials]-[4-digit exposure # from beginning of event]
example:
>181021-MBZ-0001.jpg
