As a system, this makes sense and I love it. As a personal practice it's completely impractical for all but a narrow band of the population. And when those people need to collaborate with others, good luck getting everyone else to follow the system.

I recommend embracing the chaos instead. Enhance the tools for finding information, and make it easy to apply metadata.

At a certain point you can get no further without demanding more personal discipline, but that point is way beyond what is prescribed here.
