I've setup my ~/Stuff, ~/CurrentStuff and mkstuff some time ago and it's extremely useful to keep clutter under control for me. I use this as temporary working directories for small stuff that's not a real project yet. `mkstuff ticket-123-team-db-troubleshooting` creates me a directory `~/Stuff/2026-02/12-ticket-123-team-db-troubleshooting` and drops the shell into that. ~/CurrentStuff is just a link to current months stuff.
This way I have everything about a ticket in a place and if someone is like "uhh, you did something to something some 3 months ago or so?" - ~/Stuff/2025-1{0,1,2} probably knows, I certainly don't. I can find things again like this :)
I'll eventually have to setup some automated archiving for it, but so far it's not using too much space.
