Mine are stored in monthly folders, with sub folders inside:

Gig
Birds
Random
But it's a pretty poor system. Many times I recall a particular photo but not when I took it - trying to locate it is then a nightmare! Luckily anything of any artistic value gets loaded onto Flickr - not that many - and so I can usually find a photo date that way. Armed with the date I can then track back to the folder and find the original.
I keep thinking I ought to use Lightroom better, especially the key-wording feature.
What might do is draw a line under everything I've done so far and start a new Light Room catalogue and use those keywords as I load stuff. Not taking many pictures at the moment so it may be a good time to start a new regime.
