Do you keep everything in "downloads" or have file trees 100 folders deep?

If not in folders, how would you suggest we organize data on computers so that it's easily findable without needing keyword searches all the time? Because I can guarantee that I'm not the only one who would remember the keyword for a specific song or government document right until the moment when I need it and then I will forget what any of the set keywords/tgs were or be so vague with the tags that it feels like searching for something specific on pinterest
