After working through *Eric's Python Crash Course* and completing the 'Try It Yourself' exercises, I've realized I accidentally dumped all my files into one folder. I used the exact names from the exercises, but now I'm looking to tidy things up. I'm sure this organization task will take quite a bit of time. Has anyone else faced this? What strategies did you use or what tips do you have for organizing project files more efficiently?

I made the same mistake when I was working through that book last year. I just created folders by chapter number and sorted the files according to their exercise names. It only took me about 30 minutes to get everything organized. Pretty straightforward!
You might want to leverage your new Python skills to automate the organization process. Check out *Automate the Boring Stuff with Python*; it includes a project specific to this kind of task. It could save you a lot of time!
Any other cool automation projects you’d recommend?
I'm doing that right now actually!
