Aha, I repurposed the XDG download directory to point to ~/scratch/, since most of those files are downloaded in my browser. Now I dump everything into that directory that hasn't been sorted into my hierarchy system (which is divided into ownership or source, then type or relevancy).
Having strewn files about is so stressful for me, I have to squirrel it away in one place or it will drive me batty. I'd rather have one directory holding all of that crap, so if I ever have a "screw it" day, I can `rm -rf ~/scratch/*` and be done with it.
Have you tried to sit down and create a hierarchy that makes sense for your way of thinking? I spent a weekend working on it a year or two ago and it's made things SO much better. I won't suggest any particular structure, but here's a rundown of what I put together: https://imgur.com/a/QVehjvy
I love reading about people's directory or symlink structures.
