Homebrew file organization, and mindset

Got myself the Mindset Mastery guide by Martina Flor on Instagram (she has a promotion for this file, I’ll link to the promotional post here, just follow her instructions to get it: comment “Mindset” below that post of hers, but also watch her video, you might get a kick out of it as well), and as I was ready to check out, I saw that she also offered a heavily discounted course on how to organize your work.

Now, my current workflow for organizing my files is based on two things: naming the files in a useful way, and sorting them into folders by either topic (for camera shoots mostly, although I am getting away from doing that in favor of using Lightroom’s built‑in tagging features) or by software used.

The naming template I use for everything aside from screenshots is something the author and photographer Velsz uses, as described in István Velsz, Lightroom Classic und CC: das umfassende Handbuch, 1. Auflage, Rheinwerk Fotografie (Bonn: Rheinwerk Verlag, 2018).

I also started using Bridge heavily, since I started tagging my library, both the PDF, and the visual kind as well.

I am looking forward to working with her course called “The Tidy Artist Mini Course”, because maybe I can improve on my workflow, and push it more towards where I need it to be: closer to sketch as basis for my work, not software used? Maybe? If that makes sense to you?
