    Hi,

    Having done a few small projects. as much as I try to be organised, as my project gets bigger I start to lose focus on organisation and I believe its my biggest failing cos I can find myself losing time finding where I put files or not commented code correctly or whatever.

    Any you people got some good organisation tips? and how to stay keeping organised and I don't mean totally unity related either.

    My #1 tip to offer: Spend a set amount of time reading tips on project organization. There are lots of tips in these existing threads:

    https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/best-practices-folder-structure.65381/
    https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/organizing-project-structure-and-scripts.362363/
    https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/how-do-you-keep-your-project-code-organized.192095/

    And more: https://www.google.com/search?q=project+structure+site:forum.unity3d.com

    Then choose an approach and try to stick with it for the duration of your project. Constantly restructuring a project can be a form of procrastination. If you hit minor sticking points, document them to fix in your next project, and move on. Only reevaluate your structure if something about it becomes completely untenable.

    Outside of Unity project structure, look at project management tools like Hack'n'Plan or Trello.
