Asset Management Spec
A messy folder structure is a tax on your creativity. Every minute spent searching for a file is a minute lost to deep work.
The Core Problem
Files named 'Final_v2_DEFINITELY_FINAL.mp4'. This is a recipe for disaster when you need to repurpose content 6 months later.
Strategy is about making choices, tradeoffs; it's about deliberately choosing to be different.
This is the "North Star" of growth!
Strategic Insight
Standardized Naming Conventions. Use YYYY-MM-DD_[Platform]_[ShortTitle]_[Type].
How to Implement
Follow these three fundamental shifts in your daily workflow:
- 01 Centralized Source Folder: Keep all your raw assets, fonts, and brand colors in one cloud-synced folder accessible from any device.
- 02 The 'Trash' Buffer: Don't delete old project files immediately. Keep original project files but delete heavy render proxies to save space.
- 03 Asset Cataloging: Use a tool like Notion or Eagle to tag your b-roll and graphics. Search by 'vibe' rather than just 'filename'.

Discipline in the small things leads to freedom in the big things. Organize your files, free your mind.
