What does the stagnation folder structure look like? I have a large data sorting operation of my own to do, and that approach sounds quite maintainable going forward.
It's nothing special at all, just a differently named folders essentially.
The flow is basically:
- All files on desktop older than 1-2 days is moved into Downloads folder (very busy and anything goes in there)
- All files what have been in Downloads folder after ~30 days are moved to "need review" folder.
- Nothing special about "need review" folder, but it's present in my dock so I see if a "new" file has arrived for needing review.
The nice thing about it is that the files slowly trickle into my view, so I usually only have to deal with a few files at a time which makes it very easy to see if I need to throw it or move it somewhere more permanent. My downloads folder used to slowly build up to massive sizes and I usually didn't have the effort to categorise it so it went into some "downloads-date" folder (since there miiiight be something I wanted to save inside it). This no longer happens.
