Linking The Academic problem:
Having a separate system for my academic stuff has been a huge help, both in that everything is well organized and contained, and that it’ll be easy to archive upon completion. I personally can’t imagine trying to contain it all within an ID, as that ID would basically become an index to a separate system on its own.
Per multiple systems, I’ve given my SX.C.ID system and education areas the system ID of E01, so with a few bulk-renames it’ll all become E01.AC.ID or E01.SX.C.ID, and I’ll move the old index files along with the content. The organization and structure will remain, but it frees up the IDs to be used in other contexts.
