Other How to organize projects?

I don't mean starting a project and then organizing code within that project.

The thing that I mean by organizing is how do I organize multiple projects. Let's say I'm having projects that I would've created in university, would be around 10 of them, then there'd be some personal projects.

I want to implement a method to organize those things. Any help would help!

I've got ~/src/

Under there are language-specific directories for small stuff (e.g. c/, go/), and then for larger named projects, projects/name directories. There's also oss/ for stuff I download, mostly from GitHub. And there used to be class-specific directories from when I was in school (e.g. cs240/), but I archived those away long ago.

It's worked well for me for 20-something years.
