Does anybody have thoughts on a good naming convention for Logos Documents/Notebooks? I was finding it hard to find certain things as my content started to grow and proliferate, and needed a method to narrow down my documents when I was searching for something.
So, I developed a method that's working, but am curious what other approaches people use. For my method, I have categorized documents into 6 broad genera. For each genus, I precede the document title with a letter and use a period as a separator. By using a letter, I also create a hierarchy to the genera.
A. Bible Book materials (e.g., notes or clippings on the Epistle to the Hebrews)
B. Bible people materials (e.g., notes or clippings on Paul)
C. Bible places materials
D. Topics (e.g., Faith, Baptisms, Creation, doctrines, etc.)
E. Devotions (e.g., confessions, journaling, sermon notes that I take at church)
T. Materials I author (E.g., Bible studies, sermons)
What do I do when a document overlaps? I try not to worry too much about it, and classify it in what I consider to be the principal genus.
I'm thinking about eliminating the "T" genus and merging it in the appropriate other category and finding some other way to flag those.
On notes because of how great tags and other facets are, this scheme is becoming unnecessary (although, I could always name the tags with this method).
I'm curious how others handle this issue.

Tags. Notebooks aren't kept in hierarchies in my system. I tag everything so that I can find a note on Paul and 2nd Temple lit or a devotional/sermon note on Paul. Both are tagged with "Paul" and are one tag search away.
