Tag "categories"
Posted: Fri May 06, 2016 4:11 amI mainly use tags to drive my filing system and trigger actions. For ease of use I have adopted a prefix for different categories of tags. For example, months start with a tilde (~01,~02, etc.), a slash for actions (/file, /print), and clients are :thus. Then, when tagging a file, you quickly get a sub-list of the relevant tags.
I follow a reasonably strict sequence for tags, either :client -topic or, for general files, subject year ~month. This helps with auto-filing using Hazel, especially with the improved sort into subfolders command in v4.
Note, I strip the leading character away using the replace text command. So, for example, my invoices are in folders named 01, 02, etc. even though they are tagged ~01, ~02, and so on.
