The best way you organize your photos is that works best fit you. However the most important starting point is using a single driver. I highly recommend use a single external drive. Similar to <my external drive>\my photos\...
Mine is <my external drive>\my photos\
After years using a date structure I've started using Categories. Some of mine are, LANDSCAPE, SPORTS, PEOPLE, EVENTS, TRIPS, etc. I have subfolders as needed to keep NAMES AND DATES to fit the category.
But Larry what about landscape, sunrise and similar? My choice is "it depends". When it's a part of a TRIP it goes into TRIPS and, when I remember, I add keywords and map information.
It's your choice. What works for you is your Right Way.
I started using Categories in Lightroom Classic. I did not go through the thousands of using date organiztion.
But when I began to use Lightroom I created a new folder called LIGHTROOM CLOUD\CATEGORIES if I want I can easily Import any into Lightroom Classic.
Organizing Your Photos
Every expert, content creator, ... has their way to do it. It may not work for you. How do you organize is the best way for YOU. BUT once you begin to use Lightroom Classic only use Lightroom Library to rename, move or otherwise modify your photo locations, names etc.
In YouTube I entered this search "how to organise photos in lightroom classic " and there are lots of the best way. You need to find the way that works for you. Following are some that I have viewed and I'm still searching for the BEST .
