I just remember reading a paper on using folders for managing personal
projects:

"Don't take my folders away!: organizing personal information to get
things done" - W. Jones et al.

The researchers found that there were two main ways in which folders
were used:

 - as a way to break a complex problem into smaller ones,
  to help understanding it

 - as a planning tool, breaking big tasks into smaller ones

Have a look at the paper if you can :-)

do you remember any Free material aswell? I enjoy paying money for good literature, perhaps this is just not the right list for advertisement on commercial documents..
