On my computer, I’m in the habit of using lots of subfolders for my organization of reports and other output I generate from my financial software 1. I prefer to use a structure of month names inside the for the year, with forced chronological order.
For instance:
\Bills\subfolder1
\Bills\subfolder2
So I wrote an Automator script to do this for me automatically. It took me a long time to get around to doing it. I had been creating all these myriad subfolders by hand until now.
To use this, you save as a Finder service here:
~/Library/Services/create annual month folders.workflow
Then, in Finder you select a folder where you want to have the month subfolders created, right click and select Services and then “create annual month folder” and voila!

Or, you could have created a blank set of them and then copied that folder for every year. 🙂
Well that spoils the fun!
