Track how often you reorganize folders

Tracking how often you reorganize folders can be done manually or through automated systems, depending on your needs. Here are a few methods you could consider:

Manual Tracking:

  1. Log Entries: Every time you reorganize a folder, make a simple log entry in a notebook or digital document (e.g., “Reorganized the ‘Documents’ folder on [Date]”).

  2. Version Control: Use a versioning system where you create snapshots or logs of your folder structure each time it changes. Tools like Git or a simple backup system can help with this.

Automated Tracking:

  1. Folder Monitoring Software: There are tools that can track changes to folders, such as:

    • File Activity Monitor: Tracks when files and folders are accessed or modified.

    • Backup Software: Some backup solutions let you track changes and can provide logs of folder modifications.

    • Cloud Services: If you use cloud storage (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox), these platforms often track changes to files and folders.

Custom Scripting:

If you’re into coding, you could write a script that tracks folder modifications and logs the time of the changes. For example, a script in Python using os and watchdog libraries could monitor a directory and log whenever changes are made.

Would you prefer a more hands-on method or an automated one?
