+# Today
+
+
+Okay it's 2022 and you still don't want to run nepomunk, a holistic semantic
+filesystem approach never happened and you're stuck with a million files in
+your Download folder, home folder etc.
+
+So I use this script to give me a nice work environment, based on each day.
+
+Every time you open bash, it'll drop you into today's directory.
+
+When I think about stuff it's like.. oh yeah I worked on that last week, last
+year, etc - the folder structure makes this a lot easier, and you can just write
+'notes' or 'meeting-with-joe' and you know the ref date.
+
+For your bashrc:
+```
+alias t='source /path/to/today'
+
+t
+```
+
+Now every day you'll know what you worked on yesterday!
+
+\# this is where you'll get dropped by default.

+calvin@bison:~/work/2022/07/10$ cd ..; ls;
+01 02 04 05 06 07 08 09 10
+
+calvin@bison:~/work/2022/07$ cd ..; ls
+01 02 03 04 05 06 07
+calvin@bison:~/work/2022$ cd ..; ls
+2021 2022
+
+additionally you'll get a shortcut, you can type 't' as a bash fn, or go to ~/t/
+which is symlinked and updated everytime you run today (which is everytime you
+open bash or hit 't'. this is useful if you want to have Firefox/Slack/whatever
+always save something in your 'today' folder.
