What do you anons do to organise your photos? Do you compile your snaps into Year Month sub folders on your hard drives? Where do you export? What is the best system to organise your snaps?

I make new folder for raws, lightroom catalog and exported photos every time i'm about to overflow 10k photo filename cycle. I could probalby make the filenames to be unique in camera but it gives me a reminder to split up catalogs so it doesn't fuck up performance
then separate folder structure and catalogs for every gig

Take photos, dump into a folder and never look at them again ever.

Folders, with C1's default Session structure
Year then Session / Event / Quarter with in that year
Quarter or half of year has been more practical than monthly for snapshot / miscellaneous
All exports to the Output folder of that Session
Easy to find what I want, and I only have to open the relevant session instead of everything, switching away from a larger catalog has been the best functional organization change

My volume is low enough that yyyy-mm-dd is more than manageable

I have a NAS where I store my pictures. I have folders named "Camerapix 20XX" for every year I have pictures. Each of those is organized by month and each month is organized by day.

Pretty similar here. I don't know why people need to overcomplicate things. A basic file-system structure like YYYY>MM-DD or YYYY>MM>"event"/DD is so simple to navigate and implement.
Why the FUCK does anyone bother with anything else outside of not understanding how folders work.

On a similar note, if I've shot enough in a single day that further categorisation is needed, I just split my photos somewhere in the camera's folders based either on time or battery swaps and keep that split on the NAS import.
