Alright, let me tell you about this whole “Morgan Jenkins” thing I went through. It wasn’t like some big official project, more like a personal deep dive I kinda fell into.
So, I kept hearing the name pop up here and there. Mostly in online chats or sometimes a colleague would mention, “Oh, have you seen how Morgan Jenkins handles this?” Usually about organizing complex projects or maybe simplifying workflows. Sounded interesting, but you know how it is, you hear stuff, you nod, and then you forget.
But then I hit a wall with one of my own side projects. It was getting messy. Like, really messy. Finding stuff was a nightmare, I was spending more time hunting for files than actually doing anything useful. Frustrating. I remembered those mentions of Morgan Jenkins and thought, “Okay, fine. What’s the worst that could happen? Let’s actually look into this.”
Getting Started
First thing I did was just search the name, trying to find whatever methods people were talking about. Found a couple of blog posts, maybe an old forum discussion where this person laid out some ideas. It wasn’t super straightforward, honestly. Looked a bit abstract at first glance.
I decided the only way to really get it was to try it. Couldn’t risk messing up my main work stuff, so I picked that messy side project. Perfect guinea pig.
The Actual Process
So I spent a whole weekend just… trying things. Here’s basically what I did:
- I read through the stuff I found again, trying to pull out concrete steps.
- Started by creating a whole new directory structure based on what I understood.
- Began moving my existing files into this new structure. One by one. Tedious stuff, let me tell you.
- Renamed a bunch of things to fit the naming convention I thought Morgan Jenkins was suggesting.
- Tried to group related logic together, even if it meant breaking up some old files I had.
Then I hit a snag. Realized halfway through that I’d completely misunderstood a core idea about how dependencies should be handled in this system. Had a whole bunch of things in the wrong place. Felt like a real idiot for a moment there. Had to stop, take a break, re-read the source material very carefully, and then backtrack quite a bit. Undoing stuff is never fun.
But I kept plugging away at it. Focused on one part of the project, got that reorganized. Then moved to the next. Slowly, very slowly, it started making a bit more sense. Finding files actually got easier. Weirdly enough, the stricter structure made me think more clearly about the different parts of the project.
Where I’m At Now
Look, I’m pretty sure what I ended up with isn’t exactly the pure “Morgan Jenkins” way. I definitely adapted bits to fit my own habits and the specific project. But the core principles I picked up? They stuck.
My project is way less chaotic now. It’s not perfect, but it’s a huge improvement. When I start new things now, I find myself thinking about those organizing principles right from the beginning. It saves me headache down the line.
Funny thing is, the only reason I even had the time to do this deep dive was because I was stuck waiting on another department for like, a week. Had literally nothing assigned to me. Instead of just browsing random stuff online, I figured I’d tackle that messy project. Turned out to be time well spent, learning this Morgan Jenkins approach, even if it was just my interpretation of it.
