Replying to my own comment here. I decided to list all of the top-level categories because it's something I'm kind of proud of, as it seems to be able to categorize anything I can throw at it:

agenda.: single file, my main TODO. I can also add `.agenda.` anywhere in any hierarchy to make a topic-specific agenda.

archive.: I just slap `archive.` on the front of any filename I want to archive.

con.: notes about concepts

cook.: my cookbook

film.: movies, shows, etc.. Contains both notes and actual films

game.: game notes, downloads, old versions, mod version archive, skins, settings exports, etc.

grp.: social groups, movements, governments, companies, religions, etc. Mostly notes from school and research from work, but some political stuff too.

home.: my house

inbox.: single note, anything can go in here for later processing if I'm feeling lazy

journal.: journal, organized by date (journal.2024.08.27). Hasn't been used in years.

lang.: languages of all kinds; spoken, programming, everything. There's `lang.lisp` next to `lang.latin`

lit.: literature, documents, etc.. Organized as `lit.author.series.document.chapter`. I have a lot of books.

log.: logs, never used this one actually

lore.: research about fictional worlds (I'm into worldbuilding)

meta.: about this collection

music.: playlist dumps, song downloads

ppl.: people

prod.: products

proj.: projects

school.: school stuff, organized as `school.institution.course.unit.chapter.assignment.document`

self.: me

social.: social media

soft.: software

sys.: my systems

veh.: my vehicles

Bonus: I also have `woodheart.` for my worldbuilding project, which contains a copy of most of the above categories within it.
