I make new folder for raws, lightroom catalog and exported photos every time i'm about to overflow 10k photo filename cycle. I could probalby make the filenames to be unique in camera but it gives me a reminder to split up catalogs so it doesn't fuck up performance
then separate folder structure and catalogs for every gig

Take photos, dump into a folder and never look at them again ever.

Folders, with C1's default Session structure
Year then Session / Event / Quarter with in that year
Quarter or half of year has been more practical than monthly for snapshot / miscellaneous
All exports to the Output folder of that Session
Easy to find what I want, and I only have to open the relevant session instead of everything, switching away from a larger catalog has been the best functional organization change

My volume is low enough that yyyy-mm-dd is more than manageable

I have a NAS where I store my pictures. I have folders named "Camerapix 20XX" for every year I have pictures. Each of those is organized by month and each month is organized by day.

Pretty similar here. I don't know why people need to overcomplicate things. A basic file-system structure like YYYY>MM-DD or YYYY>MM>"event"/DD is so simple to navigate and implement.
Why the FUCK does anyone bother with anything else outside of not understanding how folders work.

On a similar note, if I've shot enough in a single day that further categorisation is needed, I just split my photos somewhere in the camera's folders based either on time or battery swaps and keep that split on the NAS import.
