I have about 650 notes that are currently organized into 8 folders - 1 main folder, 7 subfolders. i also auto-tag each note in frontmatter based on the folder name using QuickAdd. Problem is, I'm not really settled on this folder structure so when I make any changes to the folders themselves, which is frequently, Obsidian reindexes my entire vault.
I am looking for ideas for an organization method that is flexible, that I can grow into, and won't be too much of a headache to overhaul in the future if needed.

I am looking for ideas for an organization method that is flexible, that I can grow into, and won't be too much of a headache to overhaul in the future if needed. For example, I'm not against eliminating folders entirely and essentially using tags as folders, which I know would eliminate all the reindexing, but I have so many other miscellaneous tags that the "main tags" often get lost in the noise. Then there's the issue of how to keep up with that system, or what to do if I potentially introduce any potential major changes to all these main tags. I have been handling the latter instance by vibe coding bash scripts on Claude, but it's such a time suck. There must be a better way.
